About Jeffrey
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 LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. Jeffrey brings a long history of hospital and outpatient work to his practice.
He presents himself as an experienced, steady guide for people facing emotional strain. He focuses on understanding each person’s story and goals before suggesting steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and reflective, with practical tools offered when they fit. Jeffrey blends insight-oriented psychodynamic ideas with cognitive strategies and mindfulness exercises. People often come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, parenting, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to identity and mood.
He also works with attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and coping with life transitions. In the room he aims to build a trusting relationship and to notice patterns that get in the way of change. He uses questions, gentle interpretation, and skills training to help clients try new ways of thinking and acting.
The pace is set by the person who comes for help. Jeffrey offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care. He practices from New York and brings a calm, hopeful presence to work that can feel overwhelming.

How his approaches translate to online work
Jeffrey uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people name what matters to them, which can help with parenting stress, identity questions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and actions and offer practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as new issues come up or as different strategies prove helpful, and decisions about technique are made together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a conversational session where seeing faces helps communication. Phone can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, between-session check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep regular contact while working toward goals.
