About

Curtis Spears is a licensed LMHC and LPC with 17 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, addiction issues, and a wide range of life changes. His background includes several years as an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University Shreveport, three years as a patient counselor in a hospital psychiatric unit, three years in a pediatric clinic, and work as an employee assistance counselor in a large hospital and city system. Those roles informed a general practice approach that is accepting and non-judgmental and has served people from diverse backgrounds and needs.

Curtis maintains a solo practice licensed in Louisiana, Oregon, and Florida and serves clients in those states as well as from overseas. He is available most weeks, generally six days, and notes that additional appointment times can sometimes be opened when needed. He also mentions specific morning-hour constraints for West Coast scheduling due to Eastern Time Zone hours.

Outside of his clinical work he enjoys sailing, backpacking, snow skiing, and cooking, and he shares family life with his wife, six children, fourteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. These personal ties are part of his stated foundation for the supportive and steady approach he brings to counseling.

Remote therapy options and approach



Curtis offers online sessions that combine structured skill-building and emotionally focused exploration. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. Sessions can include practical exercises and reflective conversation depending on the concern.

In addition he draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles when relationship patterns and attachment issues are central. That approach supports exploring emotional responses and improving connection between partners or family members. Curtis frames work collaboratively, inviting people to set goals and try tangible strategies between sessions while attending to emotional experience during meetings.

Remote appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He notes scheduling constraints related to Eastern Time Zone hours for some West Coast clients and indicates occasional flexibility to open additional times when possible.
