More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 15 State: Louisiana

Thank you very much for checking here: I hope to be of service to you. My 13+ years of experience includes many years of counseling and listening, across various cultures, ages and personal client needs, with a few years as adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport, LA: 3 years of work as a patient counselor in a hospital psychiatric unit, and 3 years of practice in a pediatric clinic. My current solo practice is empathetic, accepting and non-judgmental, having also practiced as an EAP (employee counselor) in a very large hospital and city system, in which I was required to see anyone for any situation or issue they may bring to counseling. This unique opportunity provided me with insights and understanding of people beyond my own personal scope of experience. I believe this has made me more sensitive to the needs, hurts and stress of the various clients I serve. I am generally available 7 days a week for appointments, because I really do enjoy my practice and my clients.

I am old enough to enjoy my 6 children, 14 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, together with my wife in a delightful sharing relationship. This creates a relaxed, accepting and strong relationship and family foundation for your co unseling needs. My personal strengths hopefully convey to you a caring and positive mindset as we work together.

Hope to hear from you soon!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

My first session with Dr. Curtis was terrific, and it proved to me that he was the right person for the job to help me with this transition in my life.

He's the best, and I couldn't recommend him more.

Curtis is the best.

He is nonjudgmental and access to video sessions is good. I feel that my therapy has advanced and I see much broader views.

Has helped me through many difficult situations in my life and has been great guiding light for both personal growth and relationship recovery.

Simply the BEST!!!

Curtis is insightful and capable of drawing out everyone issue. I wish I could have had his assistance a long time ago.

Great therapist. Really believe he’s helped me come a long was in my self confidence and engaging my overthinking correctly. Just know that you’re not his only client and it takes time for him to respond. If you understand that you’ll truly enjoy his uplifting and kind nature.

Curtis has been a life saver. I have great confidence in his advice and would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Curtis listens well and offers workable measurable solutions. He doesn't brush over issues or just listen passively. I am very glad betterhelp connected me with him.

Great help for anxiety! He is a great listener and gives very good pointers for things you can take action on immediately to help.

Happy to have him as my counselor

Curtis listens and gives wise feedback. He has a multidisciplinary professional background that really enriches the quality of his counseling. His end of the conversation guides me to self-empowerment (it's not "about him"). Grateful to work with him.

Mr Curtis has been a tremendous help identifying, my personality trates, which has made me so much more confident in who I am. He immediately picked up that the reason I signed up for therapy was not even a problem I should have been concerned about n rather highlighted where to start in focusing on building my self esteem. I’m ever so grateful for his time and his assistance. God bless

I can’t rave enough about how much his viewpoints and advice has helped me tackle some of the more difficult aspects of what I’ve been going through. Expressing myself has been my biggest challenge and talking with Curtis just made it easy and helped me understand myself.

From the first session until this last session, Curtis has been very easy to open up to. In the last few months I have taken all the tools he’s given and it’s helped me so much in my daily life even for the smallest things. He has helped me find inner peace. With this peace I can allow myself to heal, move forward and reach my life goals.

He listens well, gives great encouragement, advice, and good strategies for success. I would recommend him to anyone. He is responsive and caring.

He is so amazing, very kind and thoughtful and easy to talk to, offering some great advice

Amazing insight and easy to talk to.

Curtis is wise, patient, flexible, supportive, and professional. He gets through my clutter and supports my efforts "just right". There's not a big ego layer to get through, he is not the kind of therapist you kind of tolerate or learn how to manage. He just listens, helps with a smile, and makes sure I am on my way to my next steps. Wonderful experience.

Friendly, intelligent, thoughtful, considerate and knowledgeable. Both a pleasure and a great help.

Honest, empathetic, patient, kind. Curtis is a pleasure to work with.

I enjoy working with Curtis because he listens carefully, addresses each topic I bring up, and uses real-life examples and references to support the needs I have. After each session he always sends me something to read or refer to, which I really like. I leave each session feeling joyful, having actions I can apply, and ready to move forward in the best way possible.

I have had Dr. Spears for 6 months now and what an absolute blessing he has been. Through out my therapy he has been so incredibly helpful dealing with my multitude of issues that I brought to the sessions. From articles, workbooks, faith and self help book recommendations I was able to take what we discussed and continue my self work in between appointments. Including God and my faith in each session was what I needed to help guide me spiritually along my healing path. I can honestly say that I am a completely new and healed soul after the work we put in. It feels like ending a session is like ending a call with a mentor and a friend. I’m so thankful to have found such a wonderful therapist that has been a tremendous help in bringing me to the person I was meant to be.

Curtis is great!

I am extremely pleased to have met Curtis. Sessions with him have always been illumunating, helpful and encouraging. His sage experience in life is a fountain of knowledge, insight and sound advice. I highly recommend his as your therapist.

He is experienced and a very good listener.

Curtis is very patient, understanding, empathetic. He gave me a lot of valuable guidance and information for me to go on work on myself, I really appreciate his help!

He is great, I feel confident talking to him.

Curtis has been fantastic, very insightful and allow you to go at your own pace. I would recommend him to others looking for therapy.

Curtis has been a beacon of hope in one of the darkest seasons of my life. I truly value his wisdom, his guidance, and his listening abilities and would recommend him to anyone needing some help.

Curtis has been bery supportive.

Wise, understanding, and listens carefully. Excellent practical advice. Highly recommended.

He has listened to all my problems and has been able to help me keep myself in the best mindset. I have no doubt that with his advice and my hard work. I will be able to live a healthier fuller life.

Curtis has been a light house in the middle of a very difficult storm. He has the capacity to listen compassionately and at the same time keep enough objectiveness to bring clarity, wisdom and guidance. His presence has been supportive and uplifting. It is wonderful when you find a professional that is not only full of wisdom and experience but also does his work with love and can also bring into it his most human dimension. Very grateful.

Counselor is great but the BetterHelp reception is poor.

Curtis has been extremely helpful and kind.

Curtis was very kind and open the first session. I didn’t feel coddled or like he was distracted. It was also amazing how flexible he is

Curtis is very caring.
