Kirsten King, LCPC

Kirsten King is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also lists areas like ADHD, bipolar concerns, sleep problems, and LGBT and gender dysphoria matters among her focus areas.

King’s approach is straightforward and practical. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning specific skills to manage strong feelings, and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her background includes long experience working in community and rural settings and with people affected by family conflict and domestic violence. She has also spent time connected to military life across different roles and generations. This experience informs how she talks about stressors that run in families and across life stages.

In sessions she helps people practice techniques for calming down, for speaking differently in charged moments, and for rebuilding trust after hurt. She also helps with sleep routines and coping strategies for chronic illness or caregiving strain. Practical homework and short skills practice are often part of the work.

People who pick her tend to want clear steps and steady support to reduce snapping, simmering resentment, or worry that interferes with daily life. She asks clients to be active in deciding what to try and what feels useful.
