About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Fulmer, LCSW, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, addiction, grief, trauma, or relationship problems. He listens carefully and offers steady support while people find a way forward. Parents and caregivers who are worn out by daily demands will find his approach practical and grounded.

He draws on 23 years in social work and clinical counseling. Much of that time involved treating mental health and substance use concerns and working with adults 18 and over. He has experience directing an adoption agency and supervising foster care services, and he began his career supporting children who had been abused, neglected, or abandoned.

Jeffrey speaks plainly in sessions and centers the person in front of him. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also brings Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to support change in clear steps.

Having overcome his own struggles with substance use, he offers particular empathy for people facing chemical dependency and related challenges. He also helps with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career difficulties.

Sessions emphasize strengths, affirmation, and steady recognition of progress. People can expect a compassionate listener who highlights small wins and helps set realistic next steps toward greater acceptance and direction.

Step 3

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client’s agenda. It helps people who need a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and figure out priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is practical and goal-oriented, and it helps when anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behavior patterns are getting in the way of daily life.

Emotionally-Focused ideas guide conversations about important relationships and the feelings behind them. This can be useful when attachment worries, communication problems, or relationship pain are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is observed so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options when booking. The emphasis is on practical access and using techniques that translate well to remote work, such as CBT exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and focused goal-setting.
