About Kenton

Kenton Curtis is an LCSW who brings 36 years of clinical experience to sessions. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through relationship stress, career crossroads, and feelings of isolation. He commonly supports people navigating LGBT concerns, family tensions, and the fallout from divorce or separation. He also helps with body image, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and problems with control. Kenton offers a listening presence and practical suggestions that aim to improve everyday interactions. Kenton draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a straightforward way. He focuses on improving communication, repairing rifts, and building tools for handling strong emotions. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems stuck and try simple ways to change them. His practice includes a liberal, Christian-informed perspective for those who find that helpful. That viewpoint is offered alongside approaches that respect each person’s values and goals. Kenton works collaboratively with people to set realistic steps for change. People who come to Kenton typically leave with clearer ways to manage loneliness and stronger skills for difficult conversations. He encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How Kenton Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach involves improving communication skills through practice and feedback, which helps with arguments, misunderstandings, and building connection. Another approach targets patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel guilt, shame, isolation, or impulsivity, offering concrete strategies to shift those patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and comfort level. Together they will try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer travel barriers. Online sessions can save commuting time and make it simpler to have regular check-ins around work or family demands. Because this therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled and delivered.
