About Curtis
Curtis Boehne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with 28 years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship struggles, addictions, or big life changes. He keeps conversations simple and direct so a worried parent can understand what will happen in sessions.
Curtis creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. He aims to make each meeting practical, focusing on small steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
He listens first, then works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That means he helps people notice what matters, examine unhelpful thoughts, and build skills that match their values.
He also uses mindfulness and motivational techniques when useful. Over nearly three decades Curtis has supported people dealing with parenting strain, family problems, caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, blended family issues, and the fallout from illness or disaster. He also helps those facing intimacy or commitment questions, career shifts, and struggles with self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He practices in Illinois as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and brings steady, practical guidance to each conversation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and major life transitions because it focuses on what a person wants their life to stand for. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and stress by breaking problems into manageable parts.Curtis treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with the client about their goals and try techniques together to see what fits. The plan can change over time as needs and priorities shift, with Curtis adapting tools from different approaches when helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can pick what works for their day. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit quick check-ins or short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel, and they let a therapist and client focus on practical steps and real-life application.
