About Kelly
Kelly Fitzgerald is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience. She helps people who feel stuck and who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, career questions, and life purpose. Kelly practices from Illinois and brings a steady, practical presence to each session.
Her style is collaborative and warm. She sees therapy as a team effort where the person’s own strengths guide the work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, doable steps such as relaxation and meditation, journaling, and movement to reduce distress and build momentum. Kelly blends client-centered work with mindfulness practices and some cognitive techniques. That means conversations center on the person’s concerns while also teaching ways to notice thoughts and calm the body.
She supports recovery tools like 12-step programs when relevant and uses positive psychology ideas to strengthen hope and meaning. Clients can expect straightforward, practical strategies and gentle guidance rather than heavy theory. Kelly values attention to the whole person - mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual - and encourages practices that fit daily life.
Sessions are offered in English. Her licenses are LPC and LCPC, and she has practiced for 20 years. Kelly welcomes conversations about goals and priorities, and she helps people find ways to move forward from feeling stuck.
How client-centered and mindfulness work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through what feels stuck.Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. Simple practices such as brief meditations and breathing exercises help reduce reactivity and calm anxiety. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, mood swings, and for building steady coping habits.
Which methods to use is a shared decision. Kelly will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and daily life. The focus is practical: try an approach, see how it fits, and adjust as needed.
Online sessions make these approaches easier to fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided mindfulness practice. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when meeting in real time is difficult. These remote options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to practice skills between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
