About Fritz
Fritz Gelin is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people manage anger and related concerns. He offers a calm, practical approach that aims to reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions are offered in English and French and he works with clients online from Illinois as well as international clients.
Fritz uses straightforward conversation to identify what triggers angry responses and what helps reduce them. He blends tools from cognitive behavioral work with client-centered listening to build realistic steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult feelings without acting on them impulsively. With three years working as an LCPC, Fritz brings recent clinical experience alongside roles in crisis settings. That background informs how he approaches urgent feelings and complicated situations.
He focuses on practical strategies rather than jargon, so clients leave a session with a clear next step. Common issues he addresses include stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and the stress of life transitions. He also supports people facing obsessive thoughts, process addictions, communication problems, and multicultural challenges.
His style is adaptable to each person’s goals and pace. Fritz asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. From there he schedules appointments and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Fritz Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Fritz frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and reduce distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, helps people notice strong emotions and choose actions that match their values rather than reacting on impulse.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Fritz will discuss goals and preferences with each person and mix methods that fit their situation. Together they decide which exercises and tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats give flexibility for different needs. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick coping support, written reflections, or when typing helps the person process thoughts.
