About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Forget is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 32 years of clinical work. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds licensure to practice in New York and Massachusetts. He brings long experience from both inpatient and outpatient settings to everyday concerns.

He focuses on understanding who each person is and where they want to go. Sessions are built around conversation, listening, and helping clients notice patterns that matter. He combines insight-oriented psychodynamic thinking with practical tools to help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Jeffrey makes room for concrete skills such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. He also pays attention to attachment issues and how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This mix aims to help people change unhelpful habits while increasing self-understanding.

Clients may come with concerns about parenting, addictions, intimacy, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, or identity and LGBT questions. He also addresses family of origin matters, caregiver stress, isolation, and other issues that make daily life harder.

His style is steady and optimistic. He looks to build an honest working relationship and set achievable goals. People who want a thoughtful, experience-based therapist who balances insight with practical steps often seek his help.

How his approaches translate to online work

Jeffrey uses a mix of approaches that can adapt to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape adult relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, aiming to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to see real results.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy unfolds. That conversation helps decide whether more insight work, skills training, or a mix of both fits best.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support steady progress through regular appointments and homework like practicing mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings.
