About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what worries clients most. Her approach starts by finding concrete steps that fit each person’s life and goals.
Cathy focuses on improving relationships with self and others. She believes many problems start in relationships and can be healed in relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be warm and respectful, with an emphasis on building confidence and practical skills that carry beyond therapy. Her work often addresses parenting pressures, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction-related struggles, and issues like sleep, eating, and self-esteem. Cathy also supports people dealing with career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and attachment.
Clinically, she draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused methods, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people learn new ways to think, feel, and react in everyday situations. Cathy practices in Montana and brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions.
She aims to make the process feel manageable, pointing out small shifts that lead to relief and more stability over time.

How Cathy’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Cathy blends client-centered listening, attachment-based thinking, and cognitive behavioral strategies into online work. Client-centered therapy means she focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and responding with empathy, which helps people feel heard and work through what matters most. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in relationships and how they shape reactions, useful for healing trust, communication, and closeness. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cathy works collaboratively to decide what methods fit a person’s goals and comfort level. She adjusts the mix over time based on what helps most, and she invites feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, ongoing support, or when writing feels like the best way to process. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular progress over time.
