Kirsten King, LCPC

Kirsten King is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, mood changes, ADHD, and challenges around identity and self-esteem.

Kirsten takes a calm, nonjudgmental approach. Sessions are practical and conversational. She listens first, then helps people identify small, doable steps to feel steadier and more in control. She aims to make therapy understandable and action-oriented.

Her background includes long experience working in rural settings and running a general independent practice. That work gave her a wide view of common life stresses and how they affect daily routines, sleep, and family roles. She draws on many methods to match the work to each person’s situation.

Kirsten uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation when strong feelings get in the way. Attachment-based and client-centered techniques inform how she builds a steady, respectful working relationship.

People who choose Kirsten can expect straightforward conversations, practical coping strategies, and a focus on what matters to them. She works in English and practices in Montana. If someone wants to explore jealousy or related relationship concerns, she can help talk through patterns and plan next steps.

How approaches like ACT, CBT, and attachment work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small actions toward those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and making life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful goals rather than struggling with uncomfortable thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and daily routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and uses a steady, respectful therapeutic relationship to try new ways of relating and feeling safer in connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed to match progress and changing needs.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try techniques in real time where they live and then bring questions back to a session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting while focusing on practical skills and clear next steps.
