About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Forget is a licensed mental health counselor with more than three decades of clinical work. He practices in New York and draws on long experience across inpatient and outpatient settings. Jeffrey focuses on understanding each person’s story before deciding how to proceed.
He uses a mix of approaches rather than one single method. Sessions often center on understanding patterns that came from early relationships and on practical strategies to manage thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques and cognitive tools are used alongside exploration of life history. Jeffrey tends to work at a thoughtful pace. He listens for what matters most and helps people set clear, realistic goals.
Conversations are aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and helping people rebuild confidence after loss, change, or crisis. Common topics he addresses include stress and anxiety, depression and grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and life transitions. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, obsessive patterns, and identity-related stress.
Sessions can cover practical coping skills as well as deeper reflection about why patterns repeat. Jeffrey pairs short-term problem solving with longer-term insight work when that fits a person’s goals. His style is calm, hopeful, and focused on helping people move forward.
Jeffrey trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and holds LMHC credentials in New York and Massachusetts. He offers services in English for adults located in New York.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns around trust, abandonment, or closeness by exploring those old patterns and trying new ways of connecting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, mood issues, and obsessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeffrey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sometimes sessions focus on short-term coping skills, and other times they move into deeper exploration of life history and attachment patterns.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, quick coping reminders, or when writing helps process emotion. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue across different schedules and situations.
