About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Forrest helps people who are worn out by worry, sleepless nights, or repeating relationship problems. She meets clients where they are and focuses on restoring rest, easing anxiety, and finding steadier rhythms in daily life.

She draws on 25 years of experience as an LPC to tailor sessions to each person. Conversations are down-to-earth and goal-focused. The work often looks at habits around sleep, stress responses, and patterns that keep problems cycling.

Dr. Forrest combines elements of Jungian thinking with practical methods that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered ideas to keep the pace and topics driven by the person in the room. Hypnotherapy may be included where appropriate to support relaxation and shifting ingrained patterns.

Clients come for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. She also addresses life transitions, career stress, and issues tied to family of origin, adoption, or separation.

Sessions look at both immediate symptom relief and longer-term meaning and purpose. Dr. Forrest pays attention to physical and spiritual aspects of healing as well as emotions. Interested people should confirm session options before booking and use the Start Therapy button to begin the initial matching process.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Dr. Forrest uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's needs, listening carefully and following the client's pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to practice new ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on goals, comfort, and how well techniques fit day-to-day life. That means trying practical strategies first and adding deeper Jungian or hypnotherapy elements when they seem helpful.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, cut travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some exercises and relaxation work easier to practice between sessions, helping carry gains into everyday routines.
