About Curtis
Curtis DeLoach is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky with 33 years of practice. He helps people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. He focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than jargon.
His manner is calm and direct, aimed at helping someone feel less overwhelmed. Over his career he has worked with people affected by first responder stress and military-related challenges. He also supports those coping with life transitions, addictions, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps make small, manageable changes. Curtis draws on a few different methods to suit each person’s needs. He uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the person.
He adds cognitive-behavioral tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He may include trauma-focused techniques when past events keep causing distress. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication.
Curtis helps people set concrete goals and practice steps between meetings. He pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family concerns, fatherhood questions, and common relationship strains like infidelity or communication breakdowns. People who value straightforward feedback and steady guidance tend to fit his style.
He works with adults navigating parenting stresses, commitment doubts, recovery from loss, or long-term patterns of shame and isolation. The aim is clearer coping, fewer crisis moments, and a stronger sense of direction.
How Curtis blends therapy approaches for online care
Curtis often uses client-centered therapy, which means he focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and guides treatment around what matters most to them. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new coping skills. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes.For trauma-related work he may use elements of EMDR to address memories that keep causing distress. EMDR techniques aim to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and allow more adaptive thinking. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and pace rather than imposing one fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options let people continue steady work even when schedules or locations change.
