About Jeff
Jeff Fry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. He aims to make therapy a hopeful, empowering process rather than a place to feel judged.
Jeff emphasizes how current life circumstances and personal history combine to shape daily struggles. He helps people identify strengths that can be used more effectively and patterns that may be getting in the way.
How Jeff works
He avoids pathologizing people and focuses on realistic steps that make sense in everyday life. In sessions he is direct but not cruel, and he encourages questions and challenges when something does not fit. Progress and practical change matter, so he works toward steps clients can try between meetings.
He explains his thinking in clear language when asked. Jeff primarily draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using it as a logical framework for addressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He also borrows techniques from other approaches when they seem useful for a person’s goals.
This flexible stance lets him focus on what helps most in the moment. Over his career he has worked across many settings and with a wide range of concerns. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addictions, relationship and communication problems, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
He also addresses blended family issues, divorce and separation, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. Jeff practices in Georgia and meets with people in English. He aims to help clients see practical options that already exist in their lives, then move toward healthier functioning one step at a time.

Online support options
Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves practical strategies such as tracking patterns, testing beliefs, and trying doable behavior changes to ease anxiety, depression, OCD, panic, and related concerns.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what is already working and build on small, realistic steps. This approach helps with setting clear goals, improving communication, and moving through life transitions by focusing on solutions rather than only on problems.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jeff will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. Together they decide which tools to use and how to measure progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging is convenient for ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
