About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Forget is an LMHC licensed in New York with 32 years of clinical experience. He trained at Antioch New England Graduate School and has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. He lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues in his practice.

He focuses on helping adults notice how patterns from their family of origin affect current life. He talks through relationship struggles, parenting tensions, grief, addiction concerns, mood problems, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. He also works with issues like attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, and isolation.

His approach blends insight-oriented psychotherapy with practical strategies. He often uses psychodynamic ideas to look at where patterns come from. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to change day-to-day thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions aim to build an honest working relationship. He listens for the stories that keep repeating and helps people test new ways of relating. He also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person in front of him.

Jeffrey has experience across a range of clinical settings, which he brings into session by balancing exploration with problem solving. He supports people managing life transitions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, obsessions and compulsions, and career stress. He is based in New York and conducts work in English.

To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Jeffrey integrates approaches in online work

His practice blends attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that are easy to follow. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and patterns, which can help with family of origin issues and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change responses to stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. He will help clients decide which approaches to emphasize based on their goals, history, and what feels most useful. That decision is collaborative and may shift as problems change or as new concerns arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to manage appointments around work or caregiving. Online work can also reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools so they work well in remote sessions.
