Cathy Christensen-Curry , LCSW

Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with two decades of experience supporting individuals, children, and families. She has worked with a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, family and parenting challenges, career transitions, OCD, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions, and brings long-term clinical experience to each case.

Her clinical work centers on repairing and strengthening relationships - both the relationship clients have with themselves and the relationships they share with others. She believes that what becomes damaged in relationship can also be mended through relationship, and she approaches clients with warmth and compassion while listening carefully to their needs and concerns. As an LCSW, she is trained to provide clinical assessment and therapeutic interventions grounded in social work practice.

Cathy prioritizes treating people with respect and dignity so they leave therapy feeling more capable and confident. While exploring difficult feelings and vulnerabilities can feel overwhelming, she strives to create moments in the process that produce relief and foster a steadier, more resilient outlook on life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Mood Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior. It helps people explore feelings of abandonment, attachment injuries, and relational patterns so they can build more secure connections and improve intimacy and parenting dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance in which the therapist supports clients to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, increasing self-awareness, and navigating life transitions by honoring the client’s pace and perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, OCD, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management to produce measurable changes in day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from home or other locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, helping clients engage in treatment in the way that feels most manageable and effective for them.
