Jeffrey Forget, LMHC

Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than three decades of clinical experience. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds licensure in Massachusetts and New York. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and a wide range of life challenges.

Jeffrey sees therapy as a partnership. He begins by listening closely to understand who a person is, where they come from, and what they want to change. Sessions aim to build a trusting relationship and clear goals that feel realistic and meaningful.

His approach blends insight-focused work with practical methods. He uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current struggles.

Therapy can include mindfulness exercises and client-centered listening that keep the pace and focus on what matters most to the person. Jeffrey also uses psychodynamic ideas to trace patterns that have developed over time and influence present choices.

People come to him for many concerns including relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and challenges tied to aging or caregiving. His style is straightforward, patient, and hopeful. He encourages practical steps alongside deeper personal insight.

How approaches like CBT and attachment work online

Jeffrey commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought and behavior cycles that keep problems going. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems, practical strategies, and homework between sessions to practice new skills.

He also draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current trust, intimacy, and communication. That approach helps people spot repeated patterns and try new ways of relating in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jeffrey will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then tailor methods so they make sense together. He checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan when goals or needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or travel. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
