About Curtis

Curtis DeLoach is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 33 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. Curtis aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

He listens first and adapts his approach to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing strong emotions, or coping with life changes. Curtis draws on methods that encourage practical skills and emotional processing rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Clients often work on issues like family conflict, codependency, parenting strain, and challenges tied to first responder or veteran stress. He also supports people dealing with addiction, intimacy concerns, anger, and self-esteem problems. Work in therapy can include reflecting on family of origin patterns and rebuilding trust after infidelity or separation.

Curtis uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral tools, emotion-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories. He helps people practice new ways of relating and coping, then tries those skills in everyday life. Progress is paced to the person's comfort and goals.

Sessions are conducted in English and Curtis accepts international clients. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, then schedule sessions based on availability.

How Curtis Uses Talk Therapy and Evidence-Based Tools Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and personal goals. It involves reflective listening, helping people name feelings, and choosing next steps that feel right to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, builds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These approaches can help with worry, relationship conflicts, and intense emotional reactions.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Curtis will collaborate with each client to decide which approach fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That may mean starting with supportive listening and then adding CBT or DBT skills as challenges become clearer.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are available, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try skills in the moment between appointments and bring real-life situations into sessions for discussion. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT worksheets, emotion regulation exercises, and trauma processing to work in an online setting when appropriate.
