Kirsten King, LCPC

Kirsten King is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Montana with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, and other life disruptions. Kirsten lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas and can support people navigating stepfamily arrangements and co-parenting strain.

Clients will find direct, practical conversation in sessions. Kirsten uses straightforward talk to sort problems, name patterns, and set small steps people can try between meetings. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to help with thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns.

Her background includes long experience in rural practice and work with adults and children in community settings. That history has shaped an approach that pays attention to family roles, loyalty tensions, and the routines that change when households blend. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence and with grief, anger, and the challenges of caregiving.

In session, she helps people break complex issues into manageable parts. That may mean building specific skills to manage anxiety, trying behavioral experiments, or using values-based choices to guide difficult decisions. Practical strategies for sleep, stress, and emotion regulation are often part of the work.

People who are juggling a new partner, stepchildren, and ex-partner contact often seek out her help. She can assist with communication problems, boundary setting, and coping with feelings of abandonment or divided loyalties.
