About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MT LCSW, with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related difficulties.
Cathy describes her main focus as helping people improve relationships with themselves and with others. She pays attention to how patterns in relationship affect day-to-day life and problem solving. Sessions are practical and aim to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of competence.
Her approach draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and practice different ways of responding. Cathy uses conversational work to identify patterns and small experiments to test new responses. She combines awareness-building with concrete skills people can try between sessions.
Over two decades she has supported concerns that range from grief and addictions to eating and sleeping problems, anger, body image, and career transitions. She also works with people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, family of origin patterns, attachment questions, and blended family stress.
Cathy emphasizes respect and dignity in sessions. She aims to help people leave therapy feeling more confident and able to handle life demands. If someone wants focused, structured help with thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns, Cathy offers that practical orientation and long experience.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try small, practical experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and for managing attention challenges.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships to identify how past bonds influence current reactions. It is often used when relationship issues, abandonment, or family of origin problems are part of the concern.
Cathy treats choosing a therapeutic approach as a collaborative step. She will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust methods based on what is working. That means sessions combine learning, practice, and short planning tasks to try between meetings.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family time, having shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel. Online meetings can make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life changes while still allowing focused, skills-based work.
