About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 32 years of practice. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. He brings long experience from both inpatient and outpatient settings to his work in New York.
He prefers a thoughtful, conversational style. He listens to learn who a person is and what they want to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rooted in the client's life and values.
Background and approach
His approach blends insight and skill-building. He uses psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns from the past. He also applies cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to manage symptoms day to day.
This mix can help with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addictions, and life transitions. Jeffrey pays attention to relationships and attachment issues. He helps people talk through communication problems, commitment concerns, parenting strains, and family of origin matters.
He also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy, and coping with major life changes. Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward. The therapist emphasizes collaboration and gradual progress.
People who want to understand their patterns and learn practical coping strategies may find his style constructive.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Jeffrey uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping skills. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image, helping people understand where recurring problems come from.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps pick whether more insight work or more skills practice will be most useful for current concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and interactive skill practice. Phone calls can fit into a short break or when video is not convenient. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
