Dr. Nancy Forrest, LPC

Dr. Nancy Forrest helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. Her tone is practical and steady, aimed at people who want clear steps and honest conversation.

Clients come for many reasons - trouble sleeping, grief, shifts at work, struggles with intimacy, or questions about life purpose. Dr. Forrest will listen to the immediate problem and look for patterns that keep the issue repeating. She blends straightforward talking therapy with reflective work on meaning and identity.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to make room for each person’s experience and priorities. At times she brings in Jungian ideas to look at deeper personal symbols and life narratives.

Sessions are practical and grounded. Expect a mix of focused skill-building, exploration of feelings, and larger questions about values and purpose. Dr. Forrest pays attention to how physical habits, relationships, and life events influence well-being.

People who respond well tend to want both concrete strategies and time to reflect. She supports clients working through trauma, loss, identity questions, and life transitions. The aim is clearer thinking, more reliable coping, and a stronger sense of direction.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. Forrest commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress-related problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's goals, helping people feel heard and in charge of their progress.

She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when clients want to explore life purpose, meaning, or deeper patterns. Finding the right approach is a joint process - the therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions to match those needs. That collaborative planning means techniques can shift as progress and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter reflections, interim support, or when writing helps make thoughts clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines while keeping care consistent.
