About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Montana with 20 years of experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as ADHD, grief, and addictions. Cathy’s practice centers on helping people strengthen their relationships with themselves and others.
She uses practical conversation to identify patterns that cause pain and stress. Cathy listens for how relationships - with partners, parents, or children - shape daily mood and choices. She helps people name problems, test small changes, and notice what shifts in real life. Sessions are straightforward and focused on skills people can use between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through trauma, behavior concerns, and life transitions. Cathy draws on methods that look at emotions, thinking habits, and attachment patterns to untangle recurring problems. She combines these approaches to fit what a person needs in the room.
When parenting or family history is a central concern, she pays attention to how past and present relationships affect coping and decision making. Cathy also works on practical areas like sleep, eating patterns, anger, communication, and career stress. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
People meet her for short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns. To begin they complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Cathy uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand recurring conflicts, trust issues, and how they relate to partners and family members.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's experience. That method supports building confidence and clearer self-understanding through reflective conversation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then test practical changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and shift mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cathy will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what you can manage.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to keep therapy consistent with everyday schedules.
