Fritz Gelin focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, substance concerns, grief, or big life changes.

01About Fritz

Fritz Gelin focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, substance concerns, grief, or big life changes. He works with people who struggle with low self-esteem, anger, relationship problems, bipolar mood concerns, or ongoing patterns like compulsions and process addictions. Fritz practices in Illinois and speaks English and French.

He blends straightforward talk with practical tools. Sessions emphasize listening first, then trying small, doable changes. Fritz uses approaches that help a person notice what matters, change unhelpful thoughts, and build workable routines.

Background and approach

Fritz holds an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. He brings three years of work in this role alongside longer experience in community behavioral health settings. His background includes coordination work at a crisis center and supporting people dealing with substance use and mood challenges.

In a session he puts choice in the client's hands. Conversations aim to clarify values, set short-term goals, and test simple strategies between meetings. That might mean identifying thoughts that get in the way, practicing small behavior changes, or planning steps to manage cravings and urges.

Fritz also attends to broader life context, including aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, multicultural issues, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. He adapts tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral work, and solution-focused methods to fit each person's goals.

04Online support

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Fritz draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fritz will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, then adjust as needed. Together you can try short experiments between sessions to see what works best for you.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and communication needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
