About Kelly
Kelly Fitzgerald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, life changes, addiction, relationship strain, and family concerns. She also helps with grief, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and coaching around life purpose and codependency. Kelly writes plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.
In sessions she treats each person as a whole - body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Her style is collaborative: the client and therapist set goals together and track progress. She draws on meditation, relaxation practices, and cognitive ideas to help people shift unhelpful patterns.
Kelly combines Client-Centered Therapy with Mindfulness Therapy and adds tools she has found useful over many years. She integrates journaling, movement, and elements from positive psychology and energy work when helpful. She also supports clients who are using 12-step programs as part of recovery.
Her practice reflects 20 years of clinical experience across different settings. Kelly emphasizes self-healing and practical skills people can use between sessions. She believes steady, small changes often lead to lasting improvement.
Kelly is licensed in Missouri and Illinois as LPC and LCPC, and she works with English-speaking clients. International clients are accepted, so readers outside the United States may inquire about match and scheduling. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching flow to connect and arrange the first session.
Client-centered and mindful care online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's goals and experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name priorities and next steps. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful partnership and practical goal setting.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It often includes short guided practices and exercises people can use when stress or anxiety rises, and it can help with mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose practices and exercises together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and doable.
