About Kirsten

Kirsten King is an LCPC with 23 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, ADHD, trauma and family conflict.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to create a collaborative space where clients can clarify goals, build coping skills, and restore balance across life domains. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-based insights, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address both practical symptoms and deeper relational patterns.

Kirsten has extensive experience supporting people through parenting and blended family concerns, caregiving and aging issues, chronic illness and pain, and complex family-of-origin dynamics. She also addresses concerns that include anger, sleep disruption, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood management, and compassion fatigue.

Based in Montana, she offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and tailors interventions to fit each person's needs and preferences. Kirsten emphasizes partnership in therapy, helping clients weigh options and choose approaches that match their values and daily life demands.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for mood, sleep, and coping with symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are central concerns.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand goals, preferences, and the patterns that maintain their difficulties, then tailor techniques from these models to fit the person's daily life and values rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or geographic limits. These options support flexibility in how and when clients engage, allowing skills practice between sessions and steady therapeutic contact even when in-person meetings are not feasible.
