About Kirsten
Kirsten King is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and changes in life. Her style is calm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on practical steps people can use each day.
She brings years of work in rural settings and a background shaped by military life. That personal history informs how she listens to people facing role changes, career stress, and the impact of service on daily routines. She also has experience supporting people affected by trauma and domestic violence concerns.
Kirsten uses several common therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior strategies, attachment perspectives, client-centered listening, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions usually focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, building steady habits, and improving how people relate to themselves and others.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small steps to practice between sessions. Kirsten pays attention to sleep, anger, self-esteem, and coping with long-term conditions like chronic pain or bipolar mood patterns. She also supports people working through parenting challenges, career stress, and identity questions.
Her Montana practice blends clinical experience with a practical outlook. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can ease anxiety and improve daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and build better habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people change how they react in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can involve trying something for a few sessions and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling to appointments. It also lets people use therapy from locations that work for their schedule and energy levels. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill-building to an online setting to keep progress moving between sessions.
