About Cathy
Cathy Christensen-Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people improve relationships with themselves and others. She brings 20 years of experience to sessions and aims for a warm, respectful approach that helps people feel stronger and more confident. Cathy works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, and trauma-related issues.
She emphasizes that many problems start in relationships and can get better through new ways of connecting.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be calm and focused on what matters to the person seeking help. Cathy listens closely and responds to each person's immediate needs and goals. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered ways of listening, and practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work.
Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing also appear in her approach when useful. These tools are used to help with grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem, body image, and other everyday struggles. Cathy has supported people through life changes like divorce, adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, career transitions, and caregiving for aging relatives.
She also addresses issues such as anger, sleep or eating problems, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about patterns that cause distress, concrete strategies to try between sessions, and steady encouragement as they practice new ways of coping and relating.

Online support
How Cathy blends attachment work and practical therapy online
Attachment-based ideas focus on the ways early and current relationships shape how people feel and connect. In sessions this often means noticing patterns that show up in close relationships and practicing new, gentler ways of responding to others and to oneself. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. This helps people feel heard while they sort out goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Cathy discusses different methods in early sessions and tailors the work to a person's goals, readiness, and preferences. She combines listening, skill-building, and emotionally focused work so the plan fits the person's life and what they want to change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which help people fit sessions into busy days. Video is useful for full conversations and body language, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging is handy for quick reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while trying different approaches together.
