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 concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and struggles with intimacy and self-esteem.
Cathy focuses on improving how people relate to themselves and to others. She believes problems that surface in relationships can be addressed through work in relationships. Sessions are conversational and direct. She listens for practical patterns and helps people notice what keeps them stuck.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cathy uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current reactions. She pulls in cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally focused and client-centered strategies guide how feelings are named and worked with in sessions.
Clients can expect a steady, pragmatic style that aims for clear steps forward. Conversations often include skill practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and small experiments to test different responses to anger and stress. Cathy frames progress as greater confidence in handling difficult moments.
She offers sessions in English from Montana. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape present reactions. Online sessions can help people trace these patterns and practice different responses when anger or mistrust comes up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions, CBT often means building short exercises to try between appointments and reviewing what changed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend which methods to prioritize. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress or new needs appear.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Once formats are clarified, online sessions can fit into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule around work or family responsibilities. Online work supports concrete tools, emotion naming, and practice assignments that translate into everyday situations.
