About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addictions, grief, and related issues such as ADHD and sleep or eating difficulties. Cathy lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches and focuses on how relationships and emotions shape daily life.
She helps people notice patterns that make them feel stuck and then try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, stronger emotion awareness, and rebuilding trust with yourself and others. Cathy uses practical tools from approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to support that process.
Her background in social work includes long-term experience with a broad range of challenges, such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stresses, and family-of-origin concerns. She also addresses topics like body image, codependency, and commitment anxiety. Cathy combines attention to feelings with straightforward behavioral steps when helpful.
Clients can expect a respectful, person-focused style that aims to increase confidence and coping skills. She supports people through difficult life changes, career transitions, and compassion fatigue, and attends to both emotions and everyday functioning. The work often involves naming hard feelings and testing new ways of relating.

How Cathy integrates EFT and related approaches online
Cathy lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her approaches. EFT focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and relationship patterns to change how people respond to each other and themselves. It can be helpful for people who want to understand why strong emotions repeat in relationships and for addressing intimacy-related struggles.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they show up in adult connections. This approach helps people recognize how attachment styles affect trust and communication. Cathy combines these with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead to build clarity and goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cathy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different techniques and checking in about what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-in meetings, or letting people attend from wherever they are that day. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT and attachment work to video or phone formats, focusing on emotional moments and communication skills even when not face-to-face.
