About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Fulmer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life challenges. He listens carefully and offers steady support to someone dealing with anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, or grief. His style is warm and affirming and geared toward practical change.
He draws on his own lived experience overcoming substance misuse to relate to clients facing addiction and recovery.
Background and approach
That background led him to teach an online Chemical Dependency class at a nationally known university and to work extensively with people impacted by trauma and family disruption. Jeffrey emphasizes acceptance, hope, and gradual progress. In sessions he uses a client-centered stance, building on each person's strengths and priorities.
He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He combines encouragement with clear, real-world steps clients can test between meetings. Over the past fifteen years he has focused on clinical counseling for mental health and substance use, including work with college students and adults.
His early career included work in a residential setting for emotionally disturbed children and roles directing adoption and foster care services. That experience informs his understanding of family-of-origin issues and parenting strain. Jeffrey works with people who want more meaning, better coping, and relief from painful patterns.
He offers calm listening, straightforward feedback, and practical tools to help clients move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters most to them, which can be useful for anger, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new ways of responding.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or family demands. These practical benefits help many people maintain steady momentum between sessions while they try new skills and habits.
