About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Forrest is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 25 years of experience based in Pennsylvania. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, mood conditions, and life transitions.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one tool she uses to identify thinking and behavior links. She also draws on client-centered methods and Jungian ideas to explore meaning and personal symbols.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and self-reflection. She helps people spot automatic thoughts, test assumptions, and try small behavioral experiments. Hypnotherapy and existential perspectives may be used for issues like life purpose, dissociation, or deeper identity questions.
Her work includes attention to relationship dynamics, communication problems, abandonment and attachment concerns, and recovery after sexual assault or other traumatic events. She addresses practical matters such as sleep, eating patterns, career stress, and coping with separation or divorce.
Dr. Forrest’s style emphasizes clear steps over long theoretical discussions. People can expect short, doable exercises between sessions and straightforward talk in session. For those considering online options or international appointments, confirm current session formats before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Forrest commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying automatic thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which can translate into short exercises to try between sessions. Client-centered methods focus on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own goals and priorities.She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when questions of meaning, identity, or repeated life patterns arise. Those approaches involve talking about values, life purpose, and symbolic themes, and can be adapted to an online format by using reflective conversation and written exercises.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying CBT skills for a few sessions and then adding other techniques if deeper exploration is needed.
The practical benefit of online work is that sessions can fit around work, family, and travel. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to keep regular appointments, schedule brief check-ins, and practice between-session exercises without extra travel.
