About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than three decades of clinical experience, practicing in New York.

Background and approach

He trained in graduate school and has provided care across inpatient and outpatient settings, developing a broad background in mood and adjustment issues as well as trauma, grief, addictions, and ADHD. Jeffrey brings an established career perspective to each new client relationship and draws on many therapeutic traditions learned over years of work.

His approach centers on understanding each person’s history, strengths, and goals before tailoring interventions. Though grounded in insight-oriented psychotherapy, Jeffrey integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address symptoms and daily challenges.

He also uses attachment-informed ideas to explore relational patterns and emotional responses. Jeffrey aims to build a collaborative alliance that supports practical change alongside deeper self-understanding.

He offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to fit different schedules. Licensed as an LMHC (NY LMHC 006005, MA LMHC 1926), he works with adults seeking help for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and related life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeffrey integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered principles to guide remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. Attachment-based work explores how early relational experiences shape current ways of relating and can be useful for understanding patterns in intimacy, communication, and emotional regulation. Client-centered elements emphasize empathy, active listening, and creating a collaborative atmosphere so clients feel heard as they set goals.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapy process, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This allows techniques and insights to be adjusted over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote interaction. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from wherever clients are located within his practice region, while allowing sessions to be scheduled around work, family, and other commitments.
