About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience based in Montana. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and improve how they relate to themselves and others. Her approach is warm and compassionate, with an emphasis on listening and responding to each person's needs.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to what a person needs most. Cathy uses attachment ideas to help people understand how past connections influence current reactions.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for day-to-day life. Cathy emphasizes steady, respectful work in the therapy room. Sessions often focus on building confidence, reducing overwhelm, and improving communication.
She aims to help people leave therapy feeling more capable and with clear next steps they can practice between meetings. Over two decades she has supported people through grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, addiction-related issues, and life transitions. She also addresses problems such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Cathy offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She works in English and serves people in Montana. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current relationships and emotional reactions; it can help people who feel stuck in repeating patterns with others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, prioritizing listening and respect so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Cathy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people keep eye contact and use visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or travel while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.
