More about Kirsten

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

I have been a therapist for 20 years. I have done extensive work with families in conflict and with victims of domestic violence. In addition, I am a military veteran and very well versed in all areas of military life, having been a child in a military family, being a military wife, and being in the military myself. I am also the mother of two veterans. I have had a general private practice of my own and I work in a rural area with both adults and children. I have a very calming and non-judgmental approach with my clients, as I just love people and I want to help.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kirsten King has been my therapist for almost 2 and a half years now, and after 20 years in therapy and having many, many different therapists over those years, I can confidently say that Kirsten has not only help me save my physical life in moments of crisis, but she has helped me tremendously in finding out who I really am, instead of believing all the people in my life told me who I am. I’ve never felt more heard by a therapist, more safe talking to a therapist, or noticing and feeling the progress she has absolutely been the catalyst in helping me make, than I have from Kirsten. She is truly a therapist to genuinely help people, and she empathizes with people from her very soul.
