About Kirsten

Kirsten King is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are worn down by stress, sleep struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Parents who worry about family conflict or managing day-to-day strain will find straightforward support and practical steps. Kirsten takes a calm, nonjudgmental approach and centers the person's immediate needs in each conversation.

Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or pain. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage symptoms and build routines that make rest and daily life more manageable.

Kirsten uses a mix of methods to match what a person needs. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Those approaches are used to teach coping skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen close relationships.

She practices in Montana and works in ways that respect each person’s pace. People can expect a warm tone, clear suggestions, and step-by-step support for improving sleep, reducing worry, and handling family stress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then focus on small actions that match their values. It can help with sleep worries, anxiety, and making steady changes in daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that interfere with rest and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how they affect stress and trust, which can be useful for relationship strain and family conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to check in more often between appointments. It also offers flexibility for shorter check-ins, reduced travel time, and options for sessions that do not require being on camera. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while working on sleep, stress, and daily routines.
