About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Forrest helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of practice and a steady, practical way of talking through painful patterns. Her approach aims to make day-to-day life more manageable and less reactive.

She draws on a mix of methods and a Jungian perspective to look at how past hurts affect present choices. Sessions often address relationship problems, intimacy concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing issues like eating and sleeping problems, bipolar mood shifts, and struggles with self-esteem.

Dr. Forrest pays attention to emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of healing. That means talking about feelings and behavior, noticing how the body responds to stress, and exploring deeper questions about life and meaning. She uses concrete tools from cognitive behavioral work alongside reflective methods rooted in Jungian and existential ideas.

People who come for help with anger often learn ways to recognize triggers, slow down reactivity, and practice alternatives that feel authentic. Sessions may include mindfulness exercises and focused conversations to rebuild emotional control and self-trust.

Her practice supports English-speaking clients in Pennsylvania and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule an initial appointment.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and supported while they name goals and try small changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses clear, skill-based steps to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Jungian-informed work invites exploration of deeper personal themes and recurring life patterns, which can help people make meaning out of painful experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's style, and adjust plans over time. That way sessions stay practical and relevant to the issues that brought someone in, whether that is anger, trauma, or life transitions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when travel or relocation happens. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, since format options are not specified in the biography. Clients often find that remote sessions support regular check-ins, allow shorter follow-ups when needed, and reduce time spent commuting.
