Cathy Christensen-Curry, LCSW

Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. She practices in Montana and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. Cathy also supports people facing trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, and issues tied to body image or self-esteem.

She focuses on improving how people relate to themselves and others. Cathy believes that strains in relationship often heal through new, healthier connections. Her style is warm and compassionate, and she listens for each person’s specific needs before shaping the work ahead.

In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also weaves attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to help people feel understood and to repair important relationships.

Her work pays attention to common life challenges like career transitions, parenting strain, blended family issues, abandonment or adoption concerns, and aging and geriatric issues. Cathy talks through coping strategies and clearer communication skills with clients so they can try different ways of responding in daily life.

Many people find the pace steady and the goals concrete. Cathy aims to help clients finish therapy feeling more capable, clearer about next steps, and more connected to themselves and others.

How Cathy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thought patterns and behaviors that make stress, anxiety, or low mood worse. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and feel safe. It focuses on building more reliable ways of relating and improving closeness in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathy will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more scheduling flexibility. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals use these approaches successfully with many everyday problems, and Cathy adapts methods to suit each person’s goals and routine.
