About Curtis

Curtis "Jim" Overby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Jim aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges how brave it can be to reach out for help.

He works in a straightforward, respectful manner and treats clients as experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Jim encourages small changes that add up over time and helps people notice what matters most to them.

Jim draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions. He uses those approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, take action toward core values, and change thinking that keeps problems stuck. The focus is on real-life goals rather than labels.

His eight years of experience include helping people with communication problems, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, men's issues, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. Jim listens for what gets in the way of daily functioning and then works with clients to build workable strategies.

If you decide to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. International clients may be supported, and sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How ACT and CBT guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while still acting in ways that match personal priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change.

The practical benefits of remote sessions often include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter session when needed. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy aims to help people make changes that carry over into everyday life rather than just during sessions.
