Cathy Christensen-Curry , LCSW

Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals, children, and families. She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, family relationship issues such as parenting challenges, career transitions, OCD, ADHD, and conditions related to abuse and trauma.

Her clinical focus is on repairing and strengthening relationships with oneself and with others, grounded in the belief that what is harmed in relationship can also be healed within relationship. She brings a warm, compassionate approach that centers on listening carefully and responding to each person’s concerns and needs. Cathy emphasizes treating people with respect and dignity so they emerge from the therapeutic process feeling stronger, more confident, and better equipped to manage life’s demands.

She acknowledges that exploring vulnerabilities and sources of overwhelm can feel intimidating, yet she views the therapy journey as one that often provides moments of relief and contributes to a steadier, more resilient outlook on life.

Attachment and Client-Centered Care Available Online

Cathy Christensen-Curry integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection, abandonment concerns, and relationship dynamics. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration to build self-awareness and confidence. In addition, she employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, a method often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cathy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor a plan that balances insight, emotional processing, and practical skills.

Online therapy with Cathy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to access consistent care, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
