About Cathy

Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She practices from Montana and brings 20 years of experience to conversations about parenting, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. Cathy emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people feel heard and more able to cope.

Cathy focuses on improving how people relate to themselves and others. She believes relationship skills can help fix problems that started in relationships. Sessions tend to be warm and compassionate, with attention paid to each person's needs and concerns.

Her approach pulls from cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered methods. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, understand patterns tied to relationships, and shape goals that feel meaningful. Mindfulness and emotionally focused techniques are also part of her toolbox when those fit a person's goals.

Cathy has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, addictions, ADHD, body image, eating issues, sleep problems, and career transitions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, blended family dynamics, family of origin issues, and codependency.

People who choose Cathy can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and a focus on building confidence and emotional stability. Her goal is for clients to leave feeling stronger, clearer about their next steps, and better able to manage day-to-day life.

How Cathy adapts relationship-focused therapy online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and closeness; it often helps with trust, commitment, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. Together they adjust pace, tools, and homework to fit what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions can preserve face-to-face connection. Phone work can fit into a short break or when a video call is not practical. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to use brief, focused conversations when needed.
