Fritz Gelin

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I currently hold an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and a CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor), both from the State of Illinois. Professionally, I am the Program Coordinator at a crisis center, but I have over 15 years of experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of issues, including bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
I draw my counseling strengths from using a Person-Centered Therapy approach. I believe that the therapy space is for the client to have a voice and options available for adequate problem solving. I am certified in CBT, but I use an eclectic approach integrating various counseling models.
At times, we are faced with a difficult task, and we may need some assistance. If you feel ready for therapy/counseling, I am here to provide you the help you need. Thank you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

People often wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. A major benefit of remote sessions is convenience and flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their schedules and comfort level, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging. This variety of options makes it simpler to weave therapy into a busy life. Therapy provided online is delivered by licensed professionals, and clients retain the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people dealing with everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an accessible and practical path to support.
