About Andrew

Andrew Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and brings six years of counseling experience to his work.

He aims to meet people where they are and offer steady, practical support. He keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with options to include faith-based perspectives if that is important to the client.

Background and approach

He emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while helping people take steps toward change. Therapy blends goal-focused tools with emotional understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thoughts and anxious or low mood.

Client-Centered methods prioritize the client’s pace and perspective. Emotionally-Focused work supports clearer emotional expression and repair in close relationships. Andrew also uses brief, solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes.

He pays attention to issues like communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose. He has worked with panic attacks, social anxiety, men’s issues, forgiveness, and self-love concerns. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled through an online system.

Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and subscriptions can be canceled at any time. He aims to be a steady, encouraging partner as people work toward clearer goals and healthier patterns.

Approaches that fit into online family and personal work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each client’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to stay connected from different locations. They also allow for short check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions, giving flexibility while people work toward clearer relationships and steadier moods.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
