About Kelly
Kelly Gesker is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 27 years of experience. She practices from Montana and works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are presented in a straightforward, down-to-earth manner.
Kelly’s style is relaxed and conversational. She looks for strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to handle today’s problems. She values honesty and straightforward talk, and she uses a touch of humor when it helps keep things manageable. The aim is to sort through what’s difficult now and find small, practical steps forward.
Her longer experience includes more than two decades working with individuals and with family-related concerns. That background means she’s familiar with common patterns that cause recurring conflict, resentment, and anger. She encourages clear communication and focused goal-setting to reduce repeated flare-ups and build steadier responses over time.
Kelly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as part of her approach. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how past relationship patterns influence current reactions. She uses solution-focused work to set short-term goals and track progress week to week.
For people juggling busy lives, Kelly keeps the work practical. She explains how the process works and invites questions before starting. To begin, clients use the site’s matching steps to schedule a first session and learn about next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and important relationships shape current reactions. Kelly looks at these patterns to help people recognize why they may get stuck in anger or avoidant responses and to practice different ways of connecting in relationships.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes short-term, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions often identify concrete changes clients want to see and small actions to move toward those goals, which makes progress easier to measure week to week.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and focused on real-life improvements.
