About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Forrest is an LPC with 25 years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and struggles related to intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses family of origin issues and other areas such as adoption and foster care, abandonment, and life transitions.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and Jungian ideas. Sessions focus on identifying repeating patterns that come from family history and present-day choices. She uses straightforward conversation, reflective questions, and practical skills to help people notice what keeps repeating in their relationships and daily life.
Dr. Forrest integrates attention to thoughts, behaviors, and meaning. That can include exploring how beliefs learned in childhood influence current reactions. She may introduce mindfulness practices and cognitive strategies to manage anxiety and improve sleep and eating patterns. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit for people who are open to it.
She pays attention to how work, identity, and intimate life interact. This can include communication problems, commitment worries, and issues around forgiveness or infidelity. She also addresses post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse when relevant to a person's goals.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. People considering therapy are encouraged to confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Forrest uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Client-centered methods focus on active listening and reflecting what a person says so they can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change eating patterns.She also brings existential and Jungian ideas into conversations about meaning and recurring life themes. Those perspectives look at personal values, life purpose, and the symbolic or narrative parts of experience. Together these approaches can help someone notice how early family patterns still influence choices today. Determining which mix of approaches to use is part of the first sessions, and she will work collaboratively with the client to choose what fits their goals and preferences.
Confirm the specific session formats and arrangements before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments across time zones for international clients. Discussing session length, frequency, and whether techniques like hypnotherapy are wanted will help set practical expectations before starting.
