Jeff Fry, LCSW, CSW

Jeff Fry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. He uses a clear, practical style to help people understand how their life and environment interact. He aims to help people feel hopeful, make progress, and identify steps that fit their real lives.

He believes many struggles come from a mismatch between a person and their surroundings, plus the effects of personal history. He helps people name their strengths and see where those strengths might also cause problems in different situations. He avoids making people feel there is something wrong with them and instead focuses on what will make day-to-day life healthier.

His main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used as a logical framework to address thinking and behavior patterns. He also borrows techniques from other methods when they suit a person’s goals. He explains his reasoning and invites questions and challenges in sessions.

Jeff has worked across many settings and has experience with issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, grief, and relationship concerns. He has long experience with LGBTQ matters, workplace problems, veteran and military issues, anger, divorce, and co-parenting matters.

People who choose him can expect straightforward guidance aimed at practical change. He focuses on finding solutions that make sense in everyday life and on helping clients move forward at a pace that fits their needs.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps, making it easier to try small changes and track progress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and practical steps, pointing out what already works and building from there to reach clearer outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend using CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses to find what helps most.

If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule appointments during workday breaks, or allowing check-ins that do not require video. Others appreciate shorter, focused sessions to practice skills between meetings. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling steps to pick a format that suits daily routines and treatment goals.
