Kirsten King

Kirsten King is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and parenting challenges. She takes a calm, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use right away. Her style aims to make therapy feel approachable when life feels overwhelming.

She commonly supports people coping with depression, grief, anger, sleep problems, and major life changes. Kirsten also works with issues tied to relationships, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness. Narcissism is listed among her practice areas when that concern appears in a client's life.

Kirsten draws on several therapy styles to match a person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and act on them, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to find and change unhelpful thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ones. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used to calm intense emotions and build coping tools.

She has spent many years in rural practice and has worked with adults and children in community settings. Kirsten describes herself as someone who listens without judgment and focuses on practical, lived solutions rather than jargon. She encourages steady progress over time.

People who are considering therapy should expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and tools to use between sessions. Those interested in starting are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that fit those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts that feed difficult moods and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect present-day reactions and supports building healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. Over early sessions, she and the client can adjust tools and pacing so the work feels useful and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. It also lets some people use video for face-to-face conversation or opt for audio-only when bandwidth is limited or a quicker session is preferred. Ask about the available formats when you start the matching process to choose what fits best.
