Andrew Fort, LPC

Andrew Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or family concerns. He works with people who struggle with communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Andrew writes plainly and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to change. Conversations are respectful and direct, with an emphasis on building skills and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.

Andrew draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Emotionally-Focused techniques help when feelings and attachment issues are part of the problem.

He has six years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential, licensed in New Jersey. Andrew says faith plays a role in his own life and he can include a Biblical, Christ-centered perspective when that matches a client’s preferences.

Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can see change in small steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Andrew commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy during online work. CBT helps people identify thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or panic, and then practice small experiments and new skills to change them. Client-centered methods focus on listening, reflecting, and following the client's priorities to build trust and clarity in what to work on.

Finding the best approach is part of the early sessions. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and how they prefer to work. That collaborative process can include bringing faith-based perspectives when a client wants that included.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between calls and quick adjustments to plans. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
