About Kirsten
Kirsten Peebles is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. She speaks plain, direct language and focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, substance use, or trauma. Kirsten aims to set clear goals with each person and build a practical plan to reach them.
She uses a blend of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and solution-focused work. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying manageable steps that can change daily life. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are added when they match a person’s goals.
Kirsten tends to be straightforward in sessions and avoids stigmatizing labels. She works collaboratively to set goals and checks progress as therapy continues. That might include learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing ways to improve important relationships.
Her background includes work with people impacted by military-related trauma as well as non-military post-traumatic stress. She has also supported people facing mood disorders, addictions, grief, and career-related stress. Her experience spans clinic and community settings, giving a practical focus to therapy.
