About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Forget is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 32 years of clinical experience, licensed in New York and Massachusetts. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Jeffrey focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD.
He uses practical, insight-based conversation alongside structured techniques. Sessions often combine cognitive behavioral approaches with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Jeffrey pays attention to patterns from a person's past and how those patterns show up now.
His style is straightforward and goal-oriented. He listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and suggests experiments to try different responses. That can mean adjusting unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, or practicing brief mindfulness exercises between sessions.
Jeffrey also pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that affect communication and trust. He helps people untangle family of origin issues, commitment questions, caregiver stress, and intimacy concerns by linking past experiences to present choices. He addresses mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and issues common in aging and fatherhood contexts.
People who prefer a mix of talk therapy and concrete tools may find his approach useful. He asks about goals early on and revisits them over time. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Jeffrey often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - identifying specific thoughts, planning small behavior experiments, and reviewing the results in the next meeting. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape present behavior; this can help with intimacy, communication, and family of origin concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear, respectful listening and collaborative goal setting to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options in early sessions and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting methods over time.
Session formats supported by this therapist are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many clients find it simpler to try a few sessions and then decide whether the mix of structured CBT tasks and relationship-focused discussion is working for them.
