About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than three decades of clinical work. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. Jeffrey has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and brings that broad experience into his practice.

He takes time to learn who a person is and what they want to change. Sessions focus on clear conversation about thoughts, everyday habits, and patterns that shape feelings. He aims to build a straightforward working relationship that helps people name problems and try practical steps forward.

Jeffrey blends insight-oriented psychodynamic thinking with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. That means he pays attention to past relationships and patterns while also teaching skills to manage anxiety, mood, and stress. He likes to tailor the mix to each person’s needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan.

People commonly come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, addiction, and life changes. He also addresses attachment and family-of-origin issues that often underlie ongoing struggles. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room for reflection and skill practice.

Jeffrey describes his role as collaborative and optimistic. He works to understand where someone is coming from and what would help them move forward. Those looking for a calm, experienced clinician who combines deep listening with concrete strategies may find his approach helpful.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness fit into online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how they show up now. It helps people notice typical ways they relate and build more reliable ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going and teaches practical skill steps to change them. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping with stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which mix of insight and skills fits a person’s goals and circumstances. He adapts techniques over time based on what actually helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy can happen between other obligations. Licensed professionals can use a blend of talking, skill practice, and guided mindfulness in online sessions to address worry, mood, relationship patterns, and everyday habits.
