About Kelsey Gessner (She/Her)

Kelsey Gessner helps children, teens, and young adults across Massachusetts build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy in a supportive, engaging environment where clients feel heard and understood.

Kelsey specializes in anxiety, ADHD, and childhood behavior issues, while also supporting concerns such as depression, trauma, and school avoidance. She uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and CBT for insomnia, helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing practical tools they can use in everyday life.

She is especially passionate about working with children, adolescents, and teens, creating a space that feels approachable and developmentally appropriate. Kelsey incorporates creative problem-solving, skill-building, and collaboration with families to help young clients strengthen emotional awareness, build resilience, and succeed at home, in school, and socially. She also has experience supporting individuals connected to adoption and foster care, as well as those with developmental differences, and offers additional areas of support as needed.

Outside of her clinical work, Kelsey values connection, balance, and being present. She enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring with her two adoptive dogs, and cooking as a creative outlet. Her experience as a foster parent has deepened her commitment to creating safe, stable, and compassionate environments for children and families.

Kelsey Gessner serves clients throughout Massachusetts with a thoughtful, individualized approach to care.
