Mindy Forman, LPC

Mindy Forman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of everyday functioning. Mindy keeps sessions direct and compassionate so parents and individuals can talk plainly about pressing concerns.

She has worked in counseling for 23 years and brings broad experience with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, anger, and major life changes. Many clients come for help with parenting challenges, family conflict, or struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Mindy emphasizes a collaborative approach. She listens to what matters to each person and then helps set practical goals. Sessions often focus on skills people can use right away to cope better, reduce worry, and handle difficult emotions.

Her work also addresses attachment and adoption or foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She uses elements of attachment-based and client-centered work alongside mindfulness and DBT skills when helpful.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building, and regular check-ins on progress. Mindy aims to meet people where they are and to adjust the plan as needs change. She offers services from Pennsylvania and accepts international clients who speak English.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on improving how people connect and feel safe in relationships. Online sessions can use discussion and exercises to strengthen attachment patterns and to address issues like abandonment, adoption, and family of origin concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and stress. In remote sessions this translates into practical homework, thought records, and behavior experiments people can try between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel heard. That supportive stance can be combined with skills-based approaches so sessions are both validating and action oriented.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose methods and adjust them as progress is seen.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and interactive worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions and use short-format coaching or skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving demands.
