Andrew Fort, LPC

Andrew Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with six years of combined internship, associate-level work, and licensed practice. He specializes in helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem, and he works with individuals and families on relationship and communication concerns. His approach blends practical strategies and attentive listening to address issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, control struggles, guilt and shame, and the search for life purpose.

Andrew emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every therapeutic relationship, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s specific needs and goals. He supports clients through the often-difficult first steps toward change and aims to empower them with tools for greater confidence and motivation. He also offers guidance around men's issues, isolation, forgiveness work, and improving emotional connection in family settings.

As a clinician who draws on his own Christian faith, Andrew can integrate a Biblical, Christ-centered perspective into therapy when clients request that approach. He meets clients where they are and collaborates to build a path toward clearer thinking, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Andrew often integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and building a supportive relationship so clients feel heard and can explore their own goals. This approach helps with self-esteem, motivation, and moving through life transitions by centering the client's experience.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. CBT offers concrete strategies for reducing distress and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy in his practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in care from different settings and schedules. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow Andrew and clients to focus on meaningful progress together.
