Lawrence Bischoff

Kalispell, Montana - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

Hello, you came here with the first courageous step! And , I am sure you want respect, restoration, reassurance from your therapist. I am humbly grateful to earn that trust if you choose to work with me. My schedule is wide open due to a recent return from overseas. I have been on the Better Help platform over a number of years and enjoy both US and foreign-based clients! Clients have told me they appreciate my candor and narrative style. For me, it is about connecting the dots and clarifying new views that are healing, relevant, practical and timely. My background of 15+ years in counseling has covered the gamut of typical and difficult situations and mental health challenges. I believe that desire and belief are keys to success! Also, I believe in making the process simpler and focused more on today, results, the doable! My toolkit has all the buzzword techniques you've likely heard of, but it is not the theory that makes my approach work - it is tailoring our work to what is helpful to YOU! We are the same, and we are different. I am adaptable and check in as to what is working for you! With the holidays coming, let's be proactive to rebalance where you are! I am honored to be here for you! Let's start right away! I prefer helping you on video sessions. Chat seems more impersonal in my approach. I hope that works for you! Finally, FYI, I graduated at the top of my class with broad exposure to systems theory and dynamics. I use an eclectic approach with realistic tools and insights to fit the newer science proving we are not stuck, and the brain can "rewire" to handle stress signals differently. Very exciting for all of us! Respectfully, Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff, MSC-MFCT LCPC, EMDR Level I.

Kalispell, Montana - Licensed Professional Counselor

My name is Kelly Gesker and I'm a nationally licensed therapist. I currently live in Montana. You can take a look at my profile to learn a little bit more about my background and approach. Please also feel free to ask questions. Online counseling is fairly new and new to me. I felt a strong connection to what is troubling you and believe that I could help you work through these issues. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help. I have been working with individuals and families for over 25+ years. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name on this page. I generally check messages here a few times per day Mon-Sat and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities. I'm sorry you are having a tough time right now, but I'm really glad you are reaching out. I'd like to help you work on the struggles you are facing; and offer you a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings. It sounds like you have a great deal going and that this might be impacting your mood and energy. Once you respond to this message, I will send you some additional general information about how this online counseling process works, and then we can get started. Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help. You are not alone. Things can and will get better. I'm really looking forward to working with you!

Natalie Norrell

Kalispell, Montana - Licensed Professional Counselor

I offer a variety of counseling services through my counseling practice. Each is designed to help you live a more fulfilling, engaging and intentional life. Alongside talk therapy, I offer Art Therapy and Equine Assisted Mental Health as an invitation to the many healing benefits of cultivating creativity, horses, nature, movement and touch. In my therapeutic practice, I integrate art therapy and equine assisted psychotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy. The client can tell their story through the process of art making and the horse as a way to explore their own life as a daring journey; to embody new sources of strength, creativity and renewal. Which approach is right for you? Cognitive therapy adds another dimension – the Here and Now – and therefore can spur change in a timely fashion. Cognitive therapy examines how an individual perceives and interprets meaning in his/her daily life. It was originally designed to treat depression, but is now used for a number of mental disorders. It works to solve current problems and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy mixed with Art therapy and Equine Assisted therapy works well in this situation; it develops a new, healthy view of past and current life situations. It takes a great deal of humility for any of us to acknowledge that we are in some way stuck or unhappy, whether this is due to a problematic situation, a stagnant or conflictual relationship, or a self-defeating way of approaching things. It takes courage to open one’s self to explore the underlying beliefs and emotions that perpetuate these issues. Therapy can provide fresh insight and objectivity about these beliefs and emotions, allowing you to develop new ways of approaching the situations or patterns that are troubling you. My role as a therapist is to provide psychological perspective, to facilitate a productive inquiry about your concerns, and to help you develop new skills so that you can make vital changes in your life. Through one-on-one meetings, you can come to see yourself, your obstacles and your opportunities more clearly – and make decisions that bring you closer to the person you want to be and the life you want to live.
