Jeffrey Forget, LMHC

Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 32 years of experience. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. He aims to understand who a client is and where they want to go before shaping therapy around their needs.

In early sessions he focuses on listening and building a working relationship. He looks for practical ways to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment.

Jeffrey combines insight-oriented work with active strategies. He uses psychodynamic ideas to help uncover patterns from the past. He blends that with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to change difficult thoughts and reactions. The mix is adapted to each person’s situation and goals.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and gentle challenge when needed. Jeffrey pays attention to how life roles, work, caregiving, and aging shape stress and resilience. He also brings experience helping people navigate changes tied to career, parenting, and military or veteran issues.

He works in English from his New York practice. People interested in starting with him are asked to use the site continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability. Confirm current session options before booking.

Approach to Therapy and Online Options

Jeffrey often combines psychodynamic work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices teach simple awareness skills that help reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they shape a plan that mixes insight and skills so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows steady work on issues such as jealousy, attachment patterns, grief, and anxiety while keeping therapy practical and focused on daily life.
