About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with over 30 years of clinical experience. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. He practices from New York and works with adults facing a wide range of life stresses and mood concerns.
Jeffrey aims to understand each person as an individual. He asks about background, values, and goals to shape sessions that fit each person’s needs.
How Jeffrey works
Conversations are straightforward and paced to match what feels manageable for the client. His work blends insight-focused therapy with practical techniques. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and uses cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises to address thoughts, mood, and behavior in the present.
This mix helps with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, and other issues listed in his specialties. Sessions often center on building a steady therapeutic relationship and identifying small, achievable steps. Jeffrey pays attention to attachment themes, communication problems, and family-of-origin patterns when they are relevant.
He also supports people coping with life transitions, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and veteran or armed forces related issues. Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are handled up front. People who choose to work with him begin by completing a short questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit their calendar.

Online support options
Approaches online that focus on patterns and practical change
Jeffrey commonly uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns in relationships and personal history. That approach helps when someone wants to understand where certain feelings or reactions come from and how they repeat over time.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with clearer thinking and different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, obsessive behaviors, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness practices are added to help manage intense feelings and stay present during stressful moments.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to shape a plan that reflects their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That shared process can include trying different methods and adjusting as needs evolve.
Online formats offer flexibility for ongoing care. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or use a format that fits a busy schedule. These options make it simpler to keep therapy steady alongside work, caregiving, or other commitments.
