About Jeff

Jeff Fry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 30 years of practice. He focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and problems with attention and impulse control.

He approaches therapy in a direct, plainspoken way. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as his main framework and borrows practical ideas from other methods when useful. Sessions are aimed at identifying clear, practical steps clients can try between meetings to see measurable progress.

Jeff believes many struggles come from a mismatch between people and their environment, along with the influence of personal history. He helps people look at how strengths can become challenges in certain settings, and how small changes in approach can reduce ongoing stress. He encourages questions and pushes back when a suggestion does not make sense to the client.

In practice he works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, OCD, addictions, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. He also has experience with veteran and armed forces matters, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication difficulties.

His style is straightforward and focused on progress. He explains his reasoning in detail when requested and helps people identify practical next steps. Clients who prefer clear feedback and concrete strategies may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How Jeff uses CBT and Solution-Focused work online

Jeff commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, and sleep problems.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows attention to small, reachable changes and steps that move a person toward clearer goals. This is useful when someone wants brief, goal-directed work on issues like communication, parenting challenges, or coping with life changes.

Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. He will talk through your situation, goals, and preferences, and suggest ways to try an approach. If something does not feel like a fit, he welcomes challenge and adjustment so the plan better suits you.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during stressful periods. It can also let a therapist assign brief between-session tasks and review progress quickly to keep momentum toward your goals.
