About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 32 years of clinical experience. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in both New York and Massachusetts. Jeffrey works from a belief that the relationship between therapist and client is central to progress.
He begins by listening carefully to who the person is and what they want to change. Sessions focus on understanding a client's history, current struggles, and practical steps forward. He often blends insight-oriented work with cognitive and mindfulness tools to meet each person where they are.
Clients who come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, or life transitions will find an approach that balances reflection with skill-building. He also addresses intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career stresses, ADHD, and a range of mood and personality concerns. Jeffrey pays attention to patterns that come from attachment and family of origin dynamics.
His style is grounded and hopeful. He encourages straightforward conversation about feelings and behavior. Mindfulness exercises and cognitive techniques are used when they fit the client's goals.
Jeffrey has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings across his career. That background informs a practical, experience-based way of working. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.
Background and approach note: Jeffrey sees work and wellbeing as connected, and he helps people translate insights into everyday changes. He aims to create a clear path toward whatever goals a client brings, one step at a time.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Jeffrey uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people notice recurring problems in trust, closeness, or communication. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to where the person is in the moment, helping someone feel understood and guiding the pace of change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes where practical strategies are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeffrey works together with the client to match methods to goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits the person’s needs.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats when you book so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that talking from their usual routine makes it simpler to bring real-life problems into the session and practice new skills between meetings.
