About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Montana. She brings 20 years of experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship trouble, or parenting strain. Her manner is warm and compassionate and she aims to help people leave therapy feeling more capable and confident.
She focuses on repairing how people relate to themselves and to others. Cathy believes many struggles start in relationships and can be improved through healthier connections.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling steady. Her approach blends practical thinking with emotional work. Cathy uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on attachment-focused work to understand how early relationships shape current reactions, and on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person's needs. Sessions usually move at a steady, realistic pace. Cathy helps people set small, achievable goals and practices skills between visits.
She also uses emotion-focused techniques when painful feelings need to be mapped and understood. Cathy has supported people through trauma, addiction, eating and sleep concerns, anger, and career or life changes. She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family challenges, codependency, and body image.
Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and more reliable coping skills.
How Cathy’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current reactions. In online sessions Cathy helps people trace those patterns and practice new ways of relating to others and themselves. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; online sessions break those down into concrete steps and homework you can try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Cathy talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotions, thought patterns, or relationship habits and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care while adapting to their schedules and needs.
