About Kirsten
Kirsten King is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and relationship strain. She also helps people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
She spent much of her career working with families in conflict and people affected by domestic violence. Kirsten has a long connection to military life as a child in a military family, a military spouse, a service member, and a parent of two veterans. That background informs how she talks with people who have lived or worked around the military.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical skills. Clients can expect to discuss what is happening day to day, learn simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings, and practice new responses to stress or anger. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused thinking.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, easing anxiety, managing anger, or repairing communication. Kirsten also supports people dealing with chronic pain, codependency, control issues, or life changes like divorce and aging concerns. She can talk about grief, gender questions, and the strain of caregiving.
Her Montana practice combines private work and community-based experience. People who want to start are invited to use the site's matching steps to find a first session and see if her practical style fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is useful for people stuck in anger cycles or struggling with stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. It is practical for work-related frustration and relationship conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they shape reactions now, which can help with anger tied to trust or fear of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsten works collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. She uses short-term skill practice and conversation to test what helps, then adjusts the plan with the client.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people keep consistent appointments during life changes or while living in rural areas. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused techniques to work over distance while focusing on real-life changes and skill building.
