About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with two decades of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, eating and sleep issues, ADHD, and related areas such as attachment, codependency, and body image. Her practice emphasizes helping clients strengthen their relationships with themselves and with others as a foundation for healing.
Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with an empathic, client-centered stance. Cathy uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.
She aims to listen closely and respond to what clients bring, fostering greater confidence, competence, and stability over time. Cathy describes her style as warm and compassionate, guiding people through difficult material while attending to moments of relief and growth.
With experience supporting individuals, children, and families, she focuses on collaboration and respect so clients leave therapy feeling better equipped to manage life changes and build healthier connections.
How Cathy’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Many of Cathy’s methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can be applied through structured online conversations and tools to address anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how past and present relationships affect current functioning; this work can be supported in virtual sessions that concentrate on emotion, safety, and connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead, creating space for clients to feel heard and to explore goals at their own pace.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Cathy approaches treatment collaboratively, adjusting techniques based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels practical and personally relevant. She aims to help clients select strategies that resonate and to revise the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and life demands. Cathy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access therapy from different locations and on varied schedules while maintaining continuity of care and regular support.
