About Fritz
Fritz Gelin is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with three years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and French, and he accepts international clients.
Gelin uses straightforward, person-centered conversation to help people talk through what is happening in their lives. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to give clients space to name problems and choose directions to try. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques when they fit the situation.
In sessions he focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. That might look like testing a new way to respond during a tense interaction, noticing patterns that feed resentment, or experimenting with small behavior changes to reduce stress. He also works with people facing addiction and compulsive behaviors, addressing those patterns alongside mood and relationship issues.
Gelin’s background includes coordinating programs at a crisis center and long experience supporting people with severe mood conditions and complex needs. He favors clear options and collaborative problem solving rather than technical jargon. If someone wants help handling outbursts, growing resentment, or responding differently to frustration, he frames therapy as a place to try new strategies and track what helps.
To begin, clients use the service’s matching steps and schedule an initial session. The aim is steady, practical shifts in how someone manages anger, stress, and related concerns over time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Fritz often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on their values. ACT can be useful for anger that keeps someone stuck or leads to avoidance.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. CBT gives clear exercises to change unhelpful reactions and reduce the frequency of angry outbursts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and may change as people test what helps.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to keep momentum between visits. Some formats work better for short check-ins or when camera use is difficult, while others suit longer skills practice. Discuss scheduling and format details when you set up the first appointment to match sessions to everyday life.
