Kelly Fischer, LMHC

Kelly Fischer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 26 years of experience. She offers straightforward, compassionate help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Her style is warm and interactive, and she involves clients in planning goals and next steps.

Fischer has worked across many settings, including outpatient therapy, residential care, and forensic contexts. That breadth of experience informs her practical approach to problems like parenting strain, relationship concerns, addiction, and burnout from caregiving or compassion fatigue. She also supports people living with autism, cognitive delays, visual impairment, and chronic health challenges.

In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. She focuses on clear goals and measurable steps so progress is visible. Therapy sessions will include talk, problem-solving, and exercises to practice between meetings.

People often come to her for help with obsessive or compulsive behaviors, mood disorders, eating concerns, and career stress. Fischer adapts what she uses to match each person’s situation and strengths. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and straightforward guidance while you work through problems.

Her aim is to support people as they move toward a more manageable daily life. She invites clients to be active partners in deciding what to work on and how to measure improvement.

How CBT and Mindful Methods Work Online

Kelly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical way to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into steps so small changes can add up, which helps with anxiety, depression, and obsessive behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and able to set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. That conversation helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, client-centered listening, or mindfulness practices in sessions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try techniques consistently.
