Curtis Spears, LMHC, LPC

Curtis Spears is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, grief, addictions, depression, and other life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and he sees clients in Louisiana as well as internationally.

He has practiced in a range of settings, including a hospital psychiatric unit, a pediatric clinic, employee assistance programs at a large hospital and city system, and as an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport. Those roles exposed him to many kinds of problems and ways people respond to stress. He brings that practical, hands-on experience to appointments.

Curtis describes his current solo practice as accepting and non-judgmental. In sessions he listens, talks through what is happening now, and helps people build ways to handle anger and other strong emotions without shaming. He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

He also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to keep sessions practical and grounded. That means working together on small, concrete steps and checking what actually helps between sessions. He can also use Emotionally-Focused ideas when work on relationships or intimacy arises.

Curtis balances work with a large family life and outdoor hobbies such as sailing and backpacking. He notes scheduling limits for some time zones and asks prospective clients to confirm suitable session times when they reach out. To begin, clients follow the site matching process and schedule a first appointment.
