About Mindy

Mindy Forman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and attachment-informed approaches to help people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar disorder, and self-esteem challenges, among other issues. Forman values a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which clients are treated as partners.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored and where interventions are tailored to each person’s needs. Over 23 years she has supported clients through family and relational difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and challenges related to career and communication.

In sessions she draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior strategies as appropriate, helping clients develop coping skills and healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindy accepts clients across international boundaries and offers a variety of online session formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

Practical Approaches for Online Support



Mindy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and early attachment experiences that influence adult relationships and emotional responses. Finally, client-centered techniques create a supportive environment that prioritizes the client's perspective and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mindy works with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adapts methods over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client needs and hopes to achieve.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These online options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from Pennsylvania or from other locations for international clients.
