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. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting, self-esteem, career change, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
His style blends insight-oriented work with practical tools. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills to address how thoughts and behaviors affect day-to-day life. Sessions tend to balance talking about underlying issues with concrete strategies to manage symptoms.
Jeffrey pays attention to attachment and relational dynamics. He often focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and close connections. That perspective informs work on intimacy, commitment worries, and family-of-origin problems.
Clients can expect a straightforward way of talking through problems. He can help sort priorities, try out small changes, and review what works. His approach is collaborative: he and the client decide what to focus on and how to proceed.
Jeffrey has supported people through major life changes, caregiving strain, abandonment concerns, and isolation or loneliness. He has long experience with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality-related difficulties, and issues common to veterans and armed forces members.
He practices from New York and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How Jeffrey applies therapeutic approaches online
Jeffrey often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps when intimacy, commitment, or fatherhood issues are getting in the way of daily life. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments that reduce anxiety or low mood.Mindfulness practices appear in his work as simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques suit stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by offering short, repeatable skills to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means testing ideas, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Talk with him after matching to confirm how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect.
