Curtis Boehne, LCSW

Curtis Boehne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 28 years of professional experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, parenting questions, anger, addictions, and related life challenges.

He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. Curtis listens to what matters most and works with each person to set reasonable short-term goals. He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to help people notice patterns and try small changes.

In sessions he often focuses on problem-solving and skills people can use between meetings. That can include examining unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding and breathing, and identifying values that point toward meaningful choices. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also guide how he helps people consider change.

Curtis has spent many years helping people navigate family problems, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice-related concerns, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. He also works with people dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of major life transitions.

The first session is usually about clarifying immediate concerns, practical goals, and what a reasonable next step looks like. Curtis emphasizes a direct, respectful approach intended to make therapy fit everyday life and responsibilities.
