About Mindy
Mindy Forman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She draws on more than two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, addictions, and other life changes. Her style is straightforward and warm.
She aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find steps that feel doable at home. Mindy centers sessions on each person’s real day-to-day struggles.
Background and approach
She creates an open space where feelings and thoughts can be shared without judgment. Conversations are balanced with tools and coping strategies that people can try between sessions. She listens first, then offers approaches that match a person’s needs and goals.
Her work includes attention to family matters and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, and career stress. Mindy has experience with adoption and foster care matters, attachment questions, and blending family dynamics.
She brings practical coaching alongside therapy when helpful. Her clinical toolkit includes methods like attachment-based work, client-centered support, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. Mindy uses these approaches to help people build skills, change unhelpful patterns, and cope with strong emotions.
She adapts tools to fit each person’s situation. Based in Pennsylvania, Mindy works with people across a wide range of concerns. Her goal is to partner with clients and move step by step toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.
She keeps language simple and focuses on what will help now.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Mindy uses a mix of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space so people can explore their thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a chance to make sense of things at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. That may mean starting with listening and support, adding mindfulness or DBT skills, or focusing on specific CBT techniques based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy families and different schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a week, follow up between meetings, and use the approach that works best for an individual’s life and preferences.
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.
