About Kelly

Kelly Fitzgerald is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and issues related to ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative process in which the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist supports development of practical tools for coping and growth. Her practice uses an integrative, whole-person orientation that attends to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

Meditation, relaxation practices, and cognitive techniques are woven into sessions alongside journaling, movement, and elements drawn from positive psychology and energy-informed methods. Kelly also supports clients exploring 12-step approaches when appropriate.

Holding LPC and LCPC credentials, she brings an adaptive, client-centered stance that centers the person’s own capacity for healing while offering structure, skills, and experiential practices. Kelly accepts clients in Illinois and international clients in English, and she blends evidence-informed strategies with practical coaching to help people move forward from feeling stuck.

Approaches and Access to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s priorities shape the work; this approach helps when people feel stuck and want to clarify goals, values, and next steps. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and relaxation practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines client-centered exploration with practical exercises and mindfulness practices, adjusting the balance as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules and geography. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, support access for international clients, and allow clients to use tools like meditation, journaling, and brief skill practice between sessions.
