About Kelly
Kelly Fitzgerald is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people who feel stuck and need a clearer path forward. Her style is straightforward and respectful, focusing on small, doable steps that fit everyday life.

Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for coping and to identify practical changes that reduce overwhelm. Kelly follows a client-centered approach that puts the person’s goals first. She pairs that with mindfulness practices like guided breathing and simple meditation.
In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers exercises clients can try between meetings. Her background includes long-term counseling work across many settings since 2001. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and practices from Illinois.
That breadth of experience shapes a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s needs. People meet her when they want tools they can use right away. Conversations cover thought patterns, daily routines, and small behavior changes.
The work is collaborative and paced to match what each person can manage.
How client-centered care and mindfulness work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and what matters to you. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps you set practical steps to try between sessions. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, goal-driven process.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that calm the mind and reduce reactivity. Those practices can help with anxiety, stress, impulsivity, and symptoms related to mood or ADHD by building awareness of thoughts and bodily cues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about symptoms, daily routines, and what you hope to change, then recommend practices or exercises to try. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made jointly so the plan fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports short updates or reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
