About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Forrest is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, LGBT issues, family and parenting concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes.
Dr. Forrest draws from several approaches to help people understand and change patterns that cause pain. She blends Client-Centered methods with cognitive strategies and elements from Jungian thinking. Sessions are conversational and aimed at practical steps as well as larger meaning and identity work.
People who come to her for parenting strain, family conflict, or relationship trouble can expect direct discussion about patterns and repeated behaviors. She pays attention to how past wounds affect current relationships, and she will often look at how personal beliefs and life stories shape reactions.
Her work includes attention to the body and to spiritual concerns alongside emotions and thoughts. That means sessions may include reflective exercises, attention to bodily experience, and guided imagery where appropriate within her therapeutic style.
Dr. Forrest also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thought patterns and hypnotherapy elements for focused work on habits and symptoms. She helps people set concrete goals and practice changes between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Forrest often combines Client-Centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear listening and reflecting what matters most to the client, which helps people clarify relationship and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets specific thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems.She may also draw on Jungian ideas to look at personal narratives and recurring patterns that influence relationships and identity. Those elements are used to deepen understanding of why certain reactions repeat and to open new ways of relating to self and others.
Deciding on a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. This means the work can include short-term skills practice or longer explorations of meaning depending on what the client wants.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm available session formats before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue regular work when schedules are tight or when someone is located outside the therapist's immediate area.
