About Kenton

Kenton Curtis offers a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy grounded in many years of practice. He is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on relationship and personal challenges. Kenton aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for everyday life.

He helps people who are dealing with LGBT concerns, relationship strain, family tensions, or career transitions. Kenton also addresses issues such as body image, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on clear steps people can try between meetings. Kenton listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He works with clients to name those patterns and try new ways of responding.

This can look like changing how someone speaks in a difficult moment, experimenting with boundaries, or planning small behavior changes that add up over time. Forgiveness, guilt, and shame are common themes in his work. He helps people sort those emotions so they do not drive decisions.

Kenton also supports people through divorce and separation, helping them manage practical and emotional fallout. Clients describe his style as accepting and direct. He brings 36 years of experience to sessions and draws on a broad set of evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

He tailors the work to each person, combining practical coaching with talk therapy to meet real-life needs.

Approaches and how online sessions work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques Kenton draws on are geared to practical change. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful behavior and thinking patterns, then testing small, concrete changes to see what helps in daily life. This is useful for communication problems, impulsivity, and control issues.

Another approach emphasizes building healthier relationship skills through role practice and feedback. In sessions people rehearse different ways of speaking and responding, which can reduce conflict and improve connection in partnerships and family interactions. That approach also helps with divorce and separation transitions by clarifying needs and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenton works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and situation. He adjusts the plan over time based on what is working and what needs to shift.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
