About Cathy

Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes restoring and strengthening relationships - with oneself and with others - because she believes that many struggles are rooted in disrupted connections and can be healed through relational work. Cathy brings two decades of clinical experience to sessions and draws on a warm, compassionate manner that prioritizes listening and responding to each person’s individual needs.

Her approach supports those facing parenting and family concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, grief, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. Cathy aims to help clients leave therapy feeling more capable, confident, and resilient by treating them with dignity and respect.

She also recognizes that exploring painful or overwhelming material can be challenging, and she works to make the process contain moments of relief and growing stability as clients move toward clearer coping and healthier patterns.

Online approaches that center relationships and practical change

Attachment-Based Therapy is grounded in understanding how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps people explore patterns of connection and repair ways of relating that contribute to distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties, offering concrete strategies clients can practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and practical concerns and may combine elements from different methods to create a personalized plan that fits the client’s situation and pace.

Online sessions using video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for arranging care around work, family, and geographic limits. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency with appointments, try different ways of engaging in therapy, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
