About Kelly
Kelly Fitzgerald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 20 years of experience. She commonly works with people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, health, or life direction. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life purpose.
Kelly favors a practical, client-centered way of working. She views therapy as collaborative - therapist and client set goals together and try approaches that fit the person's needs. She uses mindfulness and relaxation practices alongside cognitive methods to help people manage anxiety, cravings, low mood, and stress.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across different life stages and many types of problems. She values methods people can use between sessions, such as journaling, movement, and meditation. She also supports people who choose mutual-help options like 12-step programs.
In sessions she brings a blend of talking, guided relaxation, and skills practice. Clients might try breathing or brief mindfulness exercises, then talk through patterns that keep them stuck, and practice different coping ideas. She describes healing as largely self-driven, with the therapist helping to set direction and keep momentum.
People considering work on life purpose, career questions, codependency, or managing mood and addiction will find those topics listed in her practice. She works in English and accepts international clients; session arrangements are confirmed when booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy online by focusing on the client's goals and preferences. In this approach she listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients decide which steps to try next. It suits people who want collaborative, goal-focused sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy, teaching brief mindfulness or relaxation exercises and simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings. These practices can help with anxiety, stress, cravings, low mood, and improving concentration.
Finding the best way to work is part of the process. Kelly will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session pace and which techniques are emphasized.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice mindfulness or journaling between sessions and bring those exercises directly into conversation with the therapist.
