About Curtis
Curtis Boehne is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. He gently supports clients who are navigating parenting challenges, anger, addictions, and life changes. Curtis aims to make the first step feel manageable and understandable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
He uses straightforward conversation to build a calm, nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that fit everyday life. Curtis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide that work.
Over his 28 years of practice, he has supported people dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, career stresses, and bipolar disorder. He also offers help around caregiving, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related stress, hospice and end-of-life questions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
His approach mixes mindful skills with action-based strategies. Clients might notice a mix of reflection, goal-setting, and experiments between sessions. Curtis emphasizes collaboration so goals and steps feel relevant and doable for each person.
Sessions are conducted in English and are centered on the client’s priorities. He works from Illinois as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, and expects people to set goals that fit their life circumstances.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses focused exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal insight and growth.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Curtis collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. Together they try different approaches and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Curtis will discuss practical scheduling and how sessions can fit into daily routines during the matching and scheduling steps.
