Kirsten was such a wonderful help in making me realize aspects of myself that I wrote as being normal, were actually parts of me that needed healing. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

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.

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 is fabulous. I wouldn't want anyone else.
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. I feel grateful to get to work with a wonderful therapist and person like Kirsten, thank you so much for all you do for everyone!!
Kirsten is a very kind therapist that understands one’s needs and she listens to you. She reaches out to make sure I’m ok in life and that means a lot to me. Thank you for all you do!
My Therapist is a perfect fit for me. She is relatable and kind while remaining vigilant with her help . She has a well trained way of offering solid advise and real life experience as well as her professional help. BetterHelp could not have found a a more perfect therapist for me. Half the battle is finding help and getting a professional that hears and understand s you!! Kristin is a Ray of light and a life raft in this journey!
She is helping me gain the confidence I need to transition from female to male and with her years of experience, I have strong faith that she can help me.
Kirsten has helped me stay on track and go for my goals and dreams. She's kept me motivated and has encouraged me to get things done that sometimes I'm surprised as to how much I've accomplished over our time together. Truly grateful for all her help :)

I’ve been working with Kirsten for almost 2 years and I can confidently say that without her help I would not be here today, she has helped me tremendously and I can’t thank her enough!!
Kirsten has really helped me by asking some tough questions that only I know the answer. She's helped filter out the fearful thoughts from the ones I'm actually feeling.
She has wonderful insight and empathy and I feel confident she would listen to my goals and would do her best to help me in my mental/emotional journey
Kirsten has been great at listening to me and adapting to my hectic schedule where I feel I’m canceling on her but she still is calm and reassuring to me
Kristen is absolutely wonderful. She always walks me through options and will allow me to vent all my frustration and pain while supporting and building me up. Because of how fantastic she is, I confidently recommend Better Help probably weekly to people.
She helps me find a way through the storms and for that I am forever grateful. ❤️
Kirsten has been my therapist since day 1 of therapy and I have made a lot of progress with her, I have been able to identify how I’m feeling, I feel that Kirsten is unbiased when I can be completely honest and that helps me immensely. I enjoy therapy now because of the relationship I have built with my therapist and feel better after therapy sessions.
I appreciate her expertise and her advice and help
Kirsten is an amazing therapist and very helpful navigating feelings and thoughts of life scenarios. Her experience in the military world proved to be extremely beneficial. She listened well and provided great advice to help me move forward
Kirsten has been my therapist since March 2022 and she’s hands-down the best therapist I’ve ever had!!!! She saved my life and has helped me through one of the hardest times of my life, and has also helped me
Kirsten is a pleasure to work with. It’s been a short time and I have a lot going on but she is patient and listens to me. I plan to keep steady and continue my sessions with her.
Kirsten has been very helpful with my current situations. She is empathetic, knowledgeable and attentive to my current struggles. I am grateful for her and her wisdom.

Kirsten keeps me motivated and focused on my goals and coming from someone who's days can get a bit messy and scary I am thankful for Kirsten's joyful personality to help clear the way :)
Kirsten is amazing. I feel heard and well taken care of and respected and like she is working with me to rewire my brain into healthy behaviour patterns. I have already recommended betterhelp to everyone I know who needs/wants therapy, and I recommended Kirsten to my sister (as we have similar issues due to the same parental abuse and having more angles to see from never hurt anybody). Thank you, Kirsten. Genuinely, thank you.
I look forward to every interaction with Kirsten. We have a lot in common which really eases the communication and I feel like I'm completely gotten. I find myself smiling a lot more these days and she's a big part of that.
Kirsten is a great listener who truly makes me feel heard.
She’s terrific!!!
So good! I look forward to talking with her each time, and learning so much by doing so. I feel understood, seen, heard.. and able to write out what I’m feeling in addition to talking, and feel that she’s receptive to it! I always feel better after a session.

Kirsten is a great counselor. I have been seeing her for a while. She has been very helpful in helping me to understand my thoughts and feelings.
She’s kind and understands my feelings and helps me with ways to move on from childhood trauma.
You were perfect for me…I’ll sign back up and ask for you…
Kristen always motivates me to challenge myself even at times when I don't want to but I go for it anyways because I know in the end it's always worth it :) Thank You Kristen!!!!
Kirsten is friendly, kind, insightful. Kirsten speaks to me and not at me. Kirsten's empathy is evident. Kirsten's love for what she does is real and tangible. I am very pleased to receiving help from her.
Kristen has given me the best experience with therapy. She listens, understands, encourages and most of all cares. I have recommended Better Help just because Kristen has truly helped me through my thoughts and issues. Anxiety, PTSD, family trauma, are the areas in which Kristen has helped me most, and through that work she’s help uplift and bring me to a place in my life where I know I am strong enough to fully be me!
Adapts to needs at the moment. Has helped immensely in many facets of life, in a relatively short time.
Kristen King always listens and validates me. She respects my boundaries and didn't pressure me to open up before I was ready. She has many methods and techniques to help me manage my mental health. It's nice to go into my session knowing that I will be accepted and that she will put my wellbeing first. She has so much experience and dhe utilizes it to cater to each personal situation. I don't feel like a "cookie cutter" case. She always makes time for me even when she is extremely busy.
Kind, really listens and understands, offers personal experience and expert support in guiding and providing a safe space to express and work through things. Very nice to talk to and relate to.
Very easy to talk too.
I've been seeing mental health professionals off and on for the last 20+ years, and the ones who have helped me the most with healing and growing have also been the ones who are more challenging for me. Kirsten has helped me immensely by validating my trauma I've endured and helping me come to a place of acceptance without minimizing the abuse I've endured, as others sometimes do. She demonstrates practical knowledge of the hurdles I face and navigates easily between offering her guidance and offering an empathetic ear.
Kirsten, is a great help to me to have someone to talk to. She is always helpful.
Everything is great!
Kirsten is a great, empathetic listener. She has given me several constructive ways To help deal with anxiety. She listens and responds in a pro-active, non-judgmental way. Highly recommended.

So far, Kirsten has been an amazing therapist. She listens to my thoughts and provides context around them. She is so personable and kind, which makes it so easy to open up and be honest.
Kristen has been a helpful source of clarity and understanding. Even when I went in feeling very emotional and weak, Kristen reminded me of my strengths and how to work towards achieving my goals. In a way, she helped me keep myself accountable for my actions and decisions, to choose better and let go of all the hurt. She is a very kind and passionate soul. She cares and really shows it in her work. Thank you Kristen!

Instant repoire and doesn’t tell me what I want to hear but we really work on what I need to hear. Profound insight of which I’m grateful
Kristen King was great and very attentive. She is always on time. And gives great advice. She is a good listener.
Ms. Kirsten is very nice, welcoming, understanding, and easy to talk to. Before meeting her, I had not ever gone to therapy so I was not sure what to expect. She made me feel comfortable and I looked forward to seeing her and sharing with her each week. Kirsten validated all my feelings and I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. She listened attentively to everything I had to say and I never felt like my problems were meaningless. 10/10 experience.
Thank you for all your help
While I was already on the way to self improvement, Kirsten has uncovered a decent amount of tools that can be used to improve one's life and social standing. Usually in the form of small "programs" that are easy to use.

Helpful and listens to my concerns
Love her
