About Kelly

Kelly Gesker is a licensed therapist with LPCC and LPC credentials who brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work from Montana.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and related issues like sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach emphasizes identifying and building on client strengths to navigate current struggles and improve daily functioning.

Clients can expect a relaxed, supportive style rooted in compassion and a touch of humor. Kelly describes her manner as caring and nonjudgmental, creating space for honest reflection while helping clients explore practical ways to move forward.

She offers online services including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and accepts international clients, adapting her methods to fit each person’s needs. Kelly invites questions about her background and the online process and typically checks messages several times a day, Monday through Saturday.

Prospective clients begin by selecting Start Therapy, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on her availability. She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress while acknowledging that reaching out is an important first step.

Integrating attachment and solution-focused work online

Kelly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings of safety, trust, and connection; this approach can be helpful for clients coping with relationship strain, grief, or trauma-related concerns. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical goals and build on what is already working, which often suits people looking for concrete steps to manage stress, ADHD-related challenges, or mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person's situation and adjust the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing conversations through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or location is a barrier, and provide multiple ways to communicate so clients can pick the format that best supports their comfort and goals.
