About Kirsten
Kirsten King is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for parents, people coping with grief, and those facing trauma or life changes. Her approach is calm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients find practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
With 23 years of counseling experience, she draws on a range of methods to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on learning skills for mood and sleep management, working through past hurt, and improving communication. She also assists people dealing with chronic pain, caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and identity or gender questions. Kirsten’s background includes long-term clinical work in rural settings.
That experience shaped her preference for clear, workable strategies clients can use between sessions. She meets people where they are and helps them set manageable goals for change. Therapy may include skill building from cognitive behavioral approaches, attention to attachment and relationships, and acceptance-based practices to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings.
Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Sessions are offered in English and provided online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Kirsten is based in Montana and holds the LCPC credential.
People usually begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and then commit to actions that matter. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes because it focuses on values and usable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often helps with mood, worry, sleep, and anger by introducing clear coping tools. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and aims to improve connection and safety in relationships, which can reduce ongoing anxiety and mistrust.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then they will try approaches that fit and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in sessions and between appointments.
Online therapy offers flexibility that suits many schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you don’t want to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or send quick updates when a short touchpoint is helpful. Those options make it possible to continue care through moves, busy weeks, or varied daily routines.
