About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Forrest is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She writes short, direct sessions that focus on what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to manage and everyday life clearer.

Dr. Forrest uses a mix of approaches shaped by a Jungian perspective. That means she pays attention to patterns that repeat in a person’s life and how those patterns show up in relationships and work. She also addresses the physical and spiritual sides of distress alongside emotions.

In sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral ideas to support practical change and self-understanding. People can expect straightforward conversation aimed at recognizing unhelpful patterns and trying new ways to cope. Hypnotherapy and existential themes are available when those avenues suit the issue and the person.

Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self esteem, and career questions. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, communication problems, infidelity, and post-traumatic stress.

Dr. Forrest practices in Pennsylvania and offers services in English. International clients may be accommodated. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability.

Approaches That Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. In practice this means a therapist reflects feelings, asks simple questions, and helps people name what matters most to them. It is useful for building trust and strengthening self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often involves trying small changes between sessions, such as new ways of thinking or behavior experiments, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Dr. Forrest also brings a Jungian perspective that notices repeating patterns and symbols in a person’s life. That viewpoint can help uncover long-standing themes that affect relationships and decisions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together the person and therapist will choose which methods to use or combine. Adjustments are made over time as needs and goals change.

Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, readers should confirm available formats before booking. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy part of everyday routines, such as shorter check-ins, scheduling sessions during work breaks, or choosing approaches that work well over video or phone.
