About Fritz
Fritz Gelin offers a calm, straightforward approach for people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. He introduces space for people to speak and be heard. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical steps to feel a bit more steady day to day.
Fritz works from a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in front. He combines that with strategies from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral ideas when helpful. Sessions are meant to be collaborative, with the therapist listening first and suggesting options that fit the person's life.
Fritz holds an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. He also has experience coordinating programs at a crisis center, and he has worked with a wide range of concerns over many years. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth way of talking through problems.
People often come to him for issues like depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, anger, ADHD, and relationship stress. He also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, and isolation or loneliness.
Sessions are available in English and French, and international clients are accepted. The first meetings usually focus on where the person wants to start and what small steps feel doable. Fritz aims to help people notice change and build clearer routines that support better days.
How counseling methods work online
Fritz uses a client-centered approach that begins with listening to what feels most important to the person. This way of working helps set clear goals and keeps the sessions focused on the person's priorities.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and commit to small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used too, offering concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that worsen anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try methods that seem to fit. If something isn't working, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and realistic.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on matching the way sessions are run to the person's schedule and needs rather than on a single fixed format.
