About Kelly
Kelly Gesker is a licensed counselor with 27 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and trauma. She takes a calm, down-to-earth approach that aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
Her style is relaxed and supportive. She listens without judgment and helps clients identify strengths they can use right away. She often brings gentle humor into sessions to ease difficult conversations and build connection.
Background and approach
Kelly uses practical, goal-oriented methods alongside attention to how relationships shape feelings. That means helping people set small, realistic steps while also looking at patterns that influence mood and behavior. Sessions are conversational and focused on what will help most in day-to-day life.
She offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Kelly checks messages several times a day Monday through Saturday and aims to respond as promptly as she can when she is not attending other responsibilities. Kelly lives in Montana and accepts international clients for online work.
She holds credentials as an LPCC and an LPC. If someone is ready to begin, the process includes a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a session that fits their calendar.
How attachment and solution-focused work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships and early patterns affect current emotions and behavior. Online sessions can use this approach to notice recurring patterns, improve closeness in important relationships, and reduce anxiety that stems from connection worries.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes and clear short-term goals. In this approach the focus is on what clients want to see change and on building steps they can try between sessions to create momentum.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then suggest ways to combine attachment perspectives with solution-focused steps when that seems helpful. The plan can shift as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or distance constraints. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work days, caregiving routines, or travel while keeping the focus on practical change and relational insights.
