About Kirsten
Kirsten King is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Montana with 23 years of experience. She addresses stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and related problems adults bring when home life feels strained.
She helps people sort through relationship wounds and the practical pressures of parenting. She works with issues such as depression, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also offers support around LGBTQ matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes long experience working with family conflict and people affected by domestic violence. She has worked in private practice and in rural communities. That history informs how she sees problems that start or feel worse at home. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and steady listening rather than clinical jargon.
Kirsten uses several therapy methods to match the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps with strong emotions and developing practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas are used when values and relationships are central.
When people come for help, she aims to work collaboratively on goals and daily strategies. Expect straightforward conversation about what is happening at home, what patterns are keeping the problem going, and small changes to try between sessions.
How sessions work
How Kirsten’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter, even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It’s useful for parenting strain, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and improving communication when family interactions become heated.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, daily life, and what feels workable. That selection can change over time as priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm the available formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, permit shorter check-ins during breaks, or reduce the need to travel. Online appointments can make it simpler to continue steady work on skills such as mood tracking, homework from CBT, or practicing DBT techniques between sessions.
