About Mindy
Mindy Forman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over two decades of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and life transitions in a straightforward, practical way. She uses a mix of approaches to meet people where they are.
That can mean exploring attachment patterns, using client-centered listening to build trust, or applying cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thoughts. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on real-life tools parents can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Mindy has worked across many concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family-of-origin problems. Her broad background helps her tailor plans to each person’s situation.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. People can expect clear explanations, exercises to practice new skills, and moments to reflect on patterns that keep repeating. She emphasizes collaboration and practical next steps rather than long lectures.
Mindy is based in Pennsylvania and brings 23 years of experience to her practice. She works with parents who want straightforward strategies for managing behavior, setting boundaries, and reducing household stress. The approach is flexible, adapting to each person’s pace and priorities.

How attachment work and skill-based therapy translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can examine those patterns through conversation and guided reflection, helping people notice how they respond to stress and connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; online CBT uses structured exercises, thought records, and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that match needs and preferences. Over a few sessions, the plan may shift as what helps becomes clearer, and the therapist will work with the client to pick exercises and pacing that feel manageable.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone needs to share thoughts between sessions. These options support flexibility and consistent practice across different day-to-day situations.
