About Jeff
Jeff Fry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. He uses practical, straightforward methods to help people manage strong emotions and daily stress. His approach is direct but respectful, aiming to help people feel hopeful and move forward in life.
He believes many struggles come from a mismatch between a person and their environment. History matters, but so does how someone navigates the present. Jeff helps people notice patterns in their behavior and surroundings, then figure out what changes make life feel healthier.
Background and approach
Jeff primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, because it focuses on clear connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also draws on other ideas when they fit a person's needs. He explains his thinking plainly and welcomes questions or challenges to his views.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Jeff encourages quick, measurable progress while acknowledging there is no magic fix. He avoids pathologizing people and instead looks for strengths that can be put to use in different situations.
His past work includes helping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. He has experience with LGBTQ issues, workplace problems, veterans and military matters, and parenting or co-parenting difficulties. Jeff invites people to ask if their specific concern fits his experience.

How Jeff uses CBT and Solution-Focused work online
Jeff often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to quickly identify what a person wants to change and which steps will get them there. This approach highlights existing strengths and practical next steps that can be tried between meetings to build momentum.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He treats it as a collaboration and will help clients decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. If something doesn’t work, he adjusts the plan and explains why.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports faster check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work on goals from different locations.
