About Jeff

Jeff Fry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) with 30 years of clinical experience who uses a practical, problem-focused approach to help people move forward.

Background and approach

He relies primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while integrating techniques from other methods when useful, aiming to make progress tangible and understandable for each client. He emphasizes examining how a person's current environment and personal history interact to shape functioning and wellbeing.

Jeff frames therapy in terms of strengths and context, helping clients identify patterns that either support or hinder healthy living. He seeks to demystify therapy, avoiding pathologizing language and instead guiding people to discover the realistic steps that foster change.

His manner is direct yet respectful, offering clear explanations and inviting clients to challenge his perspective when it does not fit. Over three decades he has worked across many settings with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

He is based in Georgia, practices in English, and accepts international clients for remote sessions.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach breaks problems into manageable steps and is often useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and mood-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that work by concentrating on strengths, goals, and practical strategies that produce immediate improvements rather than focusing solely on history or causes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, test what helps, and adapt techniques to fit the client's needs and preferences. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and to offer feedback so treatment feels tailored and goal-directed.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for scheduling and access. Those options allow ongoing work from different locations and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or travel commitments.
