About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Forget is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in New York and Massachusetts with 32 years of clinical experience. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. His practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, parenting, and related issues.

Jeffrey favors an insight-oriented psychotherapeutic approach while also using practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. He pays attention to where a person comes from and what they want to change. Conversations in sessions aim to clarify patterns, identify workable steps, and reduce the daily load that brings people in.

He often links present-day struggles to attachment and early family experiences. That history helps explain common patterns around intimacy, commitment, and communication. Sessions also address immediate problems like panic, low mood, or difficulty managing parenting demands.

Jeffrey describes his work as collaborative. He listens first, then proposes ideas that fit the person’s situation. Therapy mixes reflection about deeper issues with hands-on coping tools and mindfulness exercises when useful.

Practical concerns such as caregiver stress, fatherhood, aging, and career strain are part of his caseload. He also supports people facing identity and intimacy questions, obsessive thoughts, bipolar mood swings, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

Sessions are conducted in English and organized to match each person’s goals. Prospective clients are asked to confirm the current session options before booking and to follow the site’s process to schedule an initial meeting.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to remote work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds. In online sessions this means talking through how current reactions echo past attachments and practicing different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical experiments. Online meetings can be used to plan and review these experiments and to practice new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. Jeffrey listens to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggests which methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, combining insight work with concrete CBT or mindfulness exercises when useful.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since this listing does not specify them. Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a midday break, or video meetings can save travel time. Remote sessions also let people bring real-life situations into the conversation and practice coping skills between meetings.
