About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than three decades of practice. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. He offers a calm, patient presence and draws on long experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Jeffrey focuses on understanding each person as an individual. He listens for background, patterns, and goals before choosing how to work.

Background and approach

He mixes insight-oriented talk with practical tools so sessions feel useful and grounded. In session he often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape present reactions.

Mindfulness tools are included to help with stress, anxiety, and mood regulation. Parents and people concerned about family life will find him comfortable talking about parenting, family roles, and related stresses. He also works with a wide range of issues such as grief, addictions, trauma, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions.

Jeffrey describes his work as collaborative and respectful. He aims to build trust so clients can tackle difficult topics and try new ways of coping. Sessions are offered from his New York practice and conducted in English.

Online approaches that balance insight and skill

Jeffrey uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection challenges, which can help when family roles or parenting feel difficult.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adapting talk therapy, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises to what the client feels will help most.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. He meets by video calls, takes phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging when that fits the person's routine. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and use the types of check-ins that support progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
