About Kirsten
Kirsten King is an LCPC with 23 years of clinical experience based in Montana. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship questions, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, ADHD, and other life changes.

Kirsten spent many years working in rural settings and running a private practice. She has long experience with family conflict and domestic violence survivors. Her background includes military life as someone raised in a military family, a spouse in the military, and personal service herself. She is also a parent of two veterans.
In sessions she focuses on practical problem solving and talking through what feels most urgent. She uses clear, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and take small steps forward. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she listens and responds.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about relationships, work, mood, and coping. She pays attention to patterns that come from family history and from stressful life roles. That can include issues around caregiving, blended families, divorce, or long-term illness.
Kirsten's work often includes helping people manage anger, low self-esteem, control issues, dissociation, and communication problems. She also addresses practical life topics like career decisions and the strain of parenting. For someone feeling behind after school or early in a career, she helps break larger worries into manageable steps.
How Kirsten’s approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with depression, sleep problems, and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsten will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques collaboratively, combining structured skill practice with open, attentive conversation about what feels most useful.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - fewer trips, simpler scheduling around work or school, and the ability to check in from a familiar setting. Some formats also let people use shorter check-ins or audio-only calls when that better matches their day. Ask about the specific session types offered when you schedule so you know what will work for you.
