About Kelly
Kelly Fitzgerald is a licensed counselor with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, and concerns around self-esteem, career, coaching, ADHD, codependency, and life purpose.
Background and approach
She practices from a client-centered stance that emphasizes collaboration and the person’s innate capacity for change, blending mindful practices and cognitive techniques to support practical coping and deeper insight.
Her work attends to the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual - and often incorporates meditation, relaxation exercises, journaling, movement, and concepts from positive psychology and energy medicine when appropriate. She supports clients who want structure through 12-step approaches as well as those seeking exploratory self-discovery.
Kelly holds LPC and LCPC credentials and brings an integrative style that helps people move past feeling stuck toward clearer goals and renewed direction.
Client-Centered and Mindful Care Online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of treatment, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clarify goals and foster personal growth. This approach is useful for people feeling stuck or seeking direction in areas like career, relationships, or life purpose.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing techniques, along with simple meditation and relaxation practices, to reduce reactivity and build coping skills for stress, anxiety, grief, and mood challenges. These practices support grounding and clearer decision-making in daily life.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with each client to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan that may draw on mindful exercises, cognitive work, journaling, movement, or 12-step support when appropriate.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach people who cannot attend in person. These options increase flexibility for ongoing check-ins, focused skills practice, or deeper sessions while allowing clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are located.
