About Curtis
Curtis DeLoach is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Kentucky with 33 years of experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also works with concerns such as stress, addiction, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
He uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. Conversations often look at how past family patterns still affect current choices and relationships. He helps people name repeated roles, set clearer boundaries, and practice new ways of handling conflict and closeness.
Clients can expect practical skills alongside deeper emotional work. Curtis blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotion regulation. He also draws on emotionally-focused therapy and EMDR when processing painful memories or attachment wounds.
Over three decades he has supported people through life transitions, losses, and the stresses of demanding jobs. He has worked with first responders and others coping with high-pressure roles, helping them manage stress and rebuild daily functioning.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and small, manageable steps. Curtis encourages practice between meetings so new ways of relating and coping become part of everyday life. If family of origin patterns are a concern, he helps identify those patterns and their impact on parenting, intimacy, and personal choices.
How Curtis integrates therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the pace. It emphasizes clear, respectful conversation so people can reflect on choices, family roles, and what they want to change. This approach supports work on family of origin issues and relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT often include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing short exercises between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided stimulation. When appropriate, this can be used to reduce the emotional charge of painful past events that affect current relationships and parenting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills-based CBT work, emotion-focused EFT techniques, or memory processing like EMDR so sessions match the client's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are held. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can adjust activities for video or phone meetings, such as assigning brief in-between exercises or focusing on spoken processing when video is not used.
