Jeffrey Forget, LMHC

Jeffrey Forget (pronounced the French way, with a soft g as in sorbet or parfait) is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who has provided clinical care for more than three decades. He completed his graduate training at Antioch New England Graduate School in 1990 and is licensed to practice in both Massachusetts and New York.

Throughout a career that has included both inpatient and outpatient settings, Jeffrey has worked with individuals, couples, and families on a broad range of concerns, including mood disorders, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, aging and adjustment, grief, addictions, anxiety, and trauma. He approaches each person as unique and seeks to identify strategies and interventions that align with a client’s situation and goals.

Grounded in insight-oriented psychodynamic work, Jeffrey also integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support progress. He places high value on the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship and prioritizes understanding where a person comes from and where they wish to go.

As an LMHC, Jeffrey combines long experience with a practical and optimistic approach to change. He invites prospective clients to reach out to discuss concerns and explore whether his style and clinical focus are a good fit.

Attachment-Based and Cognitive Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection formed in close relationships. It helps people explore issues around trust, abandonment, intimacy, and family dynamics and can be particularly useful for relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s experience and creates a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach supports self-esteem, life transitions, and personal exploration by centering the client’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting people who struggle with anxiety, depression, obsessive tendencies, and everyday coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeffrey collaborates with clients to determine which methods or combination of methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent support in formats that work for each person.
