About Kirsten
Kirsten King is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She brings 23 years of clinical experience and a steady, calm presence to sessions. Many clients come for help with parenting strains, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, anger, and coping with chronic illness or bereavement.
She uses straightforward, practical methods. Sessions focus on skills that people can use between meetings. She emphasizes clear communication, emotion regulation, and building routines that support daily life.
How Kirsten works
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and aimed at helping people feel heard and understood. Her background includes long experience in rural settings and a mix of independent practice work. That history shapes a down-to-earth approach and familiarity with the practical pressures people face in less populated areas.
She works with a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and mood disorders. Kirsten combines several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based strategies to manage difficult emotions, and attachment-informed perspectives to strengthen how people relate to others.
Dialectical skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unwanted thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kirsten works collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not, so the plan evolves with the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into busy or remote lives while using the same therapeutic tools they would get in person.
