About Jeff
Jeff Fry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience helping people make clearer choices and feel more capable. He uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help clients spot what works and what does not in their lives. Parents seeking help with stress, parenting challenges, or behavior concerns will find a direct, solutions-minded approach.
He is based in Georgia and offers care in English. He begins by looking at the interaction between a person's history and their current environment.
Background and approach
Jeff describes strengths and weaknesses as context dependent - what helps in one setting can cause problems in another. He helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and points out simple changes that can make daily life easier. Jeff favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and build small, achievable steps. Sessions emphasize clear explanations and measurable progress so people can see forward movement. His areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
He also works with LGBT issues, veteran and armed forces matters, and divorce or co-parenting topics. Many people consult him for blended family issues, communication problems, and coping after disasters. Jeff aims to be direct but not harsh, and he encourages questions and challenges when his ideas do not make sense.
He invites people to find practical answers that fit their life and to test changes between sessions.

Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Jeff uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into manageable pieces and teaches skills you can practice between sessions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and build small steps toward them. This approach centers on what is already working and how to do more of it, which can speed practical changes in parenting, relationships, and daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities to decide which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you see nonverbal cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when typing feels simpler than talking. These options make therapy more flexible around parenting schedules, work, and travel.
