About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Forget, LMHC, has practiced psychotherapy for more than three decades in New York and Massachusetts. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and brings 32 years of clinical experience to each session. Jeffrey frames his work around building a reliable therapeutic relationship and getting to know who a person is and what they want to change.
He favors an approach that balances insight with practical tools. Sessions often explore how early bonds shape current feelings and behaviors, while also using exercises to manage anxiety and mood.
Background and approach
Jeffrey uses strategies from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and mindfulness to help people cope with stress, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and other concerns. Jeffrey pays attention to attachment issues and family of origin patterns that can affect communication and intimacy. He also addresses career stress, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and identity questions related to LGBT issues.
In practice he looks at both the feelings behind problems and the activities that can change them. His background includes inpatient and outpatient settings, which informs how he tailors sessions to each person’s situation. Jeffrey aims for honest, respectful dialogues that help clients set and reach real goals.
He emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. People work with him by matching through the site and choosing the session format that fits them. Sessions are offered in English and scheduled to fit each person’s needs.
He encourages prospective clients to begin with a short intake and then set goals together.

Online support
How attachment work and practical techniques translate online
Jeffrey draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they relate to others and how those habits affect intimacy, trust, and communication. It can be useful for concerns like abandonment, relationship worries, and feeling isolated.He also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and understanding, and cognitive behavioral techniques that offer clear steps to change thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work creates space to be heard, while CBT provides tools for managing anxiety, mood, and compulsive patterns. Together these approaches combine reflection with action to address grief, depression, addictions, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jeffrey works collaboratively to decide what fits a person’s goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is made. He aims to balance deeper reflection with practical exercises so clients leave sessions with something to try.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and body language, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
