About Curtis

Curtis DeLoach is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with 33 years of professional experience. He draws on a broad clinical background to help people facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

His practice also addresses parenting, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, alongside a range of family and interpersonal issues. He uses a blend of evidence-based methods and a client-centered stance, shaping care around each person’s circumstances and goals.

Curtis works with common family and relational dynamics including blended family concerns, communication and control problems, commitment and infidelity issues, and patterns tied to family of origin. He also supports clients dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, forgiveness, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

Known for a supportive, respectful approach, Curtis helps people identify practical coping strategies and process difficult memories so they can move toward clearer priorities and healthier relationships. He accepts clients across locations, offers sessions in English, and provides flexible formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Practical Approaches and Online Support for Emotional Recovery

Curtis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, offering concrete strategies and homework to practice between sessions. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories by using guided eye movements or similar techniques to reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms and improve emotional regulation. His client-centered stance emphasizes empathy, validation, and collaboration, making sure the pace and focus reflect each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; Curtis works together with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, symptoms, and preferred pace of progress. He adjusts therapeutic tools as the relationship develops so treatment remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Curtis is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions during life changes and allow people to access ongoing support without needing to travel, while still working through interpersonal issues, trauma recovery, and coping skills in a structured way.
