Kirsten King

Kirsten King, LCPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens carefully, aiming to make sessions calm and straightforward for people juggling busy lives.

Kirsten brings 23 years of clinical experience in Montana to her work. She uses Mindfulness Therapy alongside other approaches to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Her style is steady and nonjudgmental, with a focus on practical steps that fit daily life.

Her background includes long-term practice in rural settings and experience supporting people through family conflict and trauma. She draws on a range of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based techniques, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, matching tools to the person’s needs.

In sessions she helps people build clearer communication, manage anger and sleep problems, cope with life changes, and work on self-esteem and decision-making. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and challenges related to gender identity and grief.

Kirsten aims to make therapy usable between appointments. That can mean practicing short mindfulness exercises, trying simple behavior changes, or learning new ways to respond in stressful moments. People leave with concrete ideas to try during the week and a plan to keep progress moving forward.

How mindfulness and acceptance work in online therapy

Kirsten often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without reacting immediately. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions by building simple in-the-moment skills.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. ACT can be useful for people facing life changes, chronic stress, or persistent worrying. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect present-day interactions, which helps with communication and repairing trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsten will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively by helping people practice skills between sessions and apply them in everyday situations.
