About Fritz

Fritz Gelin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois who supports adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. He centers his work on the client - creating a space where people can name their concerns and explore practical options for change while drawing on evidence-informed approaches to build new skills and perspectives.

With three years of clinical experience, Fritz focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. He also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, body image, process addictions, and isolation or loneliness, adapting interventions to the individual needs and cultural background of each person.

Fritz integrates Client-Centered principles with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and solution-focused work to help clients clarify values, reduce unhelpful patterns, and develop actionable coping strategies. He offers services in English and French and accepts international clients, emphasizing collaborative goal setting and practical steps that fit daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking action toward a more meaningful life. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and situations where avoidance limits functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and clearer decision making when facing relationship, identity, or life-transition concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Fritz collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chats, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Illinois or abroad and to integrate therapy into everyday life.
