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. Over two decades she has helped people work through depression, anxiety, family relationship concerns including parenting challenges, career transitions, OCD, ADHD, and conditions related to abuse and trauma. She approaches clinical work with a focus on repairing and strengthening relationships - both the relationship people have with themselves and the relationships they share with others.

Cathy brings a warm, compassionate manner to sessions and places emphasis on listening carefully and responding to each person’s unique needs. She believes that offering respect and dignity during the therapeutic process encourages clients to leave therapy feeling more capable, confident, and resilient. Her style centers on collaboration and practical support that builds a greater sense of competence in everyday life.

While acknowledging that exploring difficult emotions and vulnerabilities can feel overwhelming, Cathy also recognizes the many small moments in therapy that bring relief and foster a steadier outlook. Her work is rooted in helping clients find stability, personal strength, and improved connection with others.

Relationship-Focused Approaches for Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding how early bonds influence current relationships. It helps people explore patterns of connection, trust, and closeness so they can build more secure and satisfying relationships with partners, family members, and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and other everyday challenges by teaching skills to reframe thinking and practice new coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. In this approach the therapist creates a supportive environment where clients lead the conversation and work toward goals that matter most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Cathy Christensen-Curry works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She combines elements from different approaches when that best supports progress and comfort in therapy.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations. The variety of communication styles also allows clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for their healing and growth.
