About Fritz
Fritz Gelin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, grief, and mood struggles. He speaks English and French and works with adults who are looking for practical ways to feel steadier in daily life. Fritz aims to make sessions clear and direct so parents and caretakers can quickly grasp next steps.
He uses straightforward, person-centered listening as the foundation of his work. That means he gives space for each person to tell their story and then helps them choose options that fit their life.
Background and approach
He often combines that with cognitive-behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Fritz draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
These practical steps are meant to reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time. With three years as an LCPC in Illinois, Fritz brings a balance of lived practice and clinical perspective. He has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar mood changes, process and substance addictions, and relationship or communication struggles.
He emphasizes collaboration and clear plans so people leave sessions with things to try. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match busy schedules. Fritz helps clients choose approaches and session formats that fit their day-to-day needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Fritz often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fritz listens to each person's goals and tries different strategies together until something fits. He will suggest practical exercises and check in on progress so the approach adapts to what works for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief check-ins or journaling between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on clear, usable skills.
