About Nancy
Dr. Nancy Forrest is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She frames sessions around the problems people bring in plain language and practical steps. Her style is calm and steady, aimed at making emotional and everyday life challenges easier to manage.
She draws on 25 years of experience and combines several therapeutic ideas to match each person's needs. Much of her work looks at recurring patterns that cause pain - for example, issues tied to abandonment, family of origin, or commitment. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care related concerns and other life transitions.
Her approach often blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and Jungian perspectives. She pays attention to the emotional, physical, and spiritual parts of recovery and helps people notice how past experiences shape current feelings and choices.
Sessions may include practical skills such as strategy for sleep, coping with anger, or tools for managing anxiety. She also addresses deeper material like identity, meaning, and forgiveness when that is helpful. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Dr. Forrest works from a holistic view that respects each person's pace. People who want thoughtful listening, workable steps, and attention to both symptoms and life story often find this style helpful.
Online approaches grounded in practical pattern work
Dr. Forrest often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions through reflective conversation and support. This approach helps when someone needs a steady space to talk things through and gain clarity about decisions and feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, sleep problems, mood shifts, and building specific coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to combine techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as work proceeds.
