About Kelly
Kelly Gesker, LPCC, LPC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices from Montana and offers online options for people who need flexible ways to connect. Kelly aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming right now.
Kelly's style is relaxed and down-to-earth. She leans on clients' strengths and uses practical steps to address problems. Humor and warmth show up in sessions when it fits, and she focuses on making steady, manageable progress.
Background and approach
With 27 years of experience, Kelly has supported people through grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and identity or LGBT-related stress. Her work often centers on helping people cope with life changes and rebuild confidence when self-esteem has taken a hit. She draws on attachment-based work to understand how relationships shape feelings and behavior.
Solution-focused methods help set clear goals and try small changes that can lead to quick relief. Together these approaches aim to connect feelings to practical next steps. Kelly offers several ways to meet online including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Kelly’s approaches fit online care
Kelly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. This work helps when worry, anger, or relationship patterns keep repeating and someone wants clearer ways to relate to others. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, actionable goals and steps. It’s useful when someone wants to try practical changes and notice improvement quickly.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Kelly talks with each person about what they want to achieve and adapts the plan as sessions progress. She checks in about which methods feel useful and adjusts the focus based on the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings or have shorter, on-the-go check-ins. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while keeping the work focused on goals and practical steps.
