About Kirsten
Kirsten King, LCPC, is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and related issues. Kirsten also lists support for grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She draws on several practical therapies in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and decide what matters enough to act on. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for managing emotions and improving relationships.
Kirsten reports experience working in rural settings and with families in conflict, and she has worked with people affected by domestic violence. Her years in practice include private practice work and community-based roles. These experiences shape how she structures sessions and responds to real-life stressors.
In sessions she focuses on straightforward conversations, skill-building, and concrete coping strategies. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns formed in relationships and client-centered ways to keep the conversation focused on the person's concerns. Expect a clear, paced approach that aims to make things more manageable.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Kirsten notes that costs vary by location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values-based actions to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most relevant and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are common as priorities change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when scheduling.
