About Kirsten
Kirsten King is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping people who are worried about stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, mood concerns, or ADHD find more steady ways to cope. Kirsten uses practical talk, simple tools, and steady presence to reduce overwhelm.
Sessions focus on day-to-day changes clients can try right away. She aims to make conversations feel calm and nonjudgmental so people can say what matters to them.
Background and approach
Over two decades she has worked in rural settings and maintained a independent practice. That experience shaped a flexible style that blends proven methods with attention to each person’s story. Kirsten draws on clearly structured approaches when a client wants skill-based work and more open listening when someone needs space to process feelings.
Her work often addresses family conflict, parenting strain, trauma or abuse, relationship issues, depression, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports people facing chronic health challenges, blended family dynamics, abandonment concerns, and gender dysphoria.
In sessions she may use tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build routines that fit their life. The goal is steady progress through small, doable steps. Kirsten practices in Montana and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles by focusing on what matters and tiny steps toward it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.
Attachment-Based ideas guide conversations about how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connections. This can be helpful when family conflict, relationship problems, or trust issues are part of the picture.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their life. If something isn’t helping, adjustments are made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to use the format that best supports steady progress.
