Kelly Fitzgerald , LPC, LCPC

Kelly Fitzgerald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, a credential she has held since 2001, and she also holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credential. She has spent two decades helping people who often arrive feeling stuck in some area of their lives, working with adults at various stages and life transitions.

Her approach is integrative and attentive to the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions are all considered when planning care. She combines meditation and relaxation practices with cognitive techniques to help clients develop practical coping skills and new perspectives. Kelly views healing as a largely self-directed process and emphasizes collaboration - the client and therapist work together toward measurable goals.

She also incorporates complementary supports she finds useful for many people, including 12-step programs, Energy Medicine, Positive Psychology, journaling, and movement. Those elements are woven into individualized plans when appropriate, with an emphasis on building resilience, enhancing self-understanding, and promoting sustainable change.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches in Online Therapy

Kelly Fitzgerald uses client-centered therapy to guide her online work - an approach that emphasizes the client’s own goals, values, and inner resources. In practice this means the therapist offers focused listening, empathy, and support while helping clients explore feelings and identify steps toward change. This approach can be especially helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, or challenges with self-esteem.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple practices such as breath awareness and present-moment attention to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation. Mindfulness techniques often support clients coping with stress, anxiety, and difficulties concentrating by helping them notice thoughts and sensations without judgment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Kelly works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend elements of client-centered care and mindfulness based on what the individual finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit a variety of routines and time zones. This makes it easier for people to access consistent therapeutic support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
