About Jeffrey Forget

Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than three decades of clinical experience. He completed his graduate training at Antioch New England Graduate School in 1990 and is licensed to practice in both Massachusetts and New York. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - he has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, and life transitions.

Jeffrey approaches therapy with an emphasis on understanding each person in the context of their life story - who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go. Grounded in insight-oriented and psychodynamic traditions, he also integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices to address symptoms and build practical coping skills. He adapts his approach to fit the needs of the individual, couple, or family, believing that flexibility and responsiveness are central to effective care.

Central to his work is the view that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful vehicle for change. By fostering an honest, trusting alliance, he helps clients set and pursue realistic goals and supports them in making lasting changes. Jeffrey brings optimism and a steady presence to sessions and encourages interested people to reach out and begin a conversation about their needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jeffrey blends evidence-informed approaches to meet each person where they are. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and connection needs - it can be helpful for relationship struggles, attachment issues, and feelings of abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeffrey works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how clients connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work during life changes. These options support consistent engagement and make it possible to receive skilled support from licensed professionals without needing to travel for every appointment.
