About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, ADHD, and stress. Cathy also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
She prefers straightforward, person-focused work. Sessions aim to improve how people relate to themselves and others. That can mean talking through communication patterns, managing strong emotions, or strengthening daily routines when life feels chaotic.
Cathy draws on several practical approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas to notice how past relationships shape current responses. She also uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what’s most important to each person. Cognitive behavioral tools are used when people want concrete steps to change thinking and behavior.
In appointments she may mix emotion-focused work with mindfulness practices to help manage distress in the moment. The work often involves small experiments between sessions, role practice, and skills for managing anxiety or anger. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and concerns.
Her background includes long experience in clinical social work in community settings. That history informs a pragmatic style that aims to make everyday life easier. People who come with parenting strain, loyalty conflicts in stephouseholds, or grief often focus on concrete steps they can try between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns in relationships and how those patterns show up now. Online sessions can use these ideas to identify triggers, rehearse different responses, and reframe how someone understands closeness and distance. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. In an online session this often means practicing new skills, planning experiments between meetings, and tracking what changes.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to goals, try a few methods, and check in about what helps. That lets the person and therapist adjust tactics rather than committing to one method up front.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to schedule outside typical work hours or combine therapy with other responsibilities, while keeping focus on practical steps for daily family and relationship challenges.
