About Nancy

Dr. Nancy Forrest offers therapy for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and challenges with self-esteem, intimacy, grief, eating or sleeping, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with a broad range of personal and interpersonal issues including abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, communication and commitment difficulties, infidelity, and coping with post-traumatic stress. Clients seeking support for career-related stress, bipolar or depressive symptoms, anger, parenting questions, or questions of life purpose will also find relevant experience in her practice.

Dr. Forrest brings 25 years of clinical practice rooted in an eclectic, Jungian-informed viewpoint that attends to emotional patterns as well as physical and spiritual dimensions of healing.

She integrates client-centered methods, mindfulness-influenced work, cognitive behavioral techniques, hypnotherapy, and existential explorations to tailor care to each person’s needs. Licensed as an LPC in Pennsylvania (PA LPC PC002697), she combines long-term experience with a collaborative, human-focused stance that emphasizes understanding recurring patterns and developing practical coping strategies.

Integrating Insightful Approaches with Online Access



Dr. Forrest commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Jungian-informed approaches when working with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. A Jungian-informed perspective explores deeper patterns, symbols, and life narratives to help people make sense of recurring emotional themes and foster personal meaning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process: Dr. Forrest discusses goals, preferences, and life context with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative exploration helps determine whether more skills-focused CBT, exploratory Jungian work, or a blend of methods best supports the client’s aims.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules or across locations. These formats support ongoing access to a licensed professional while allowing therapy to adapt to changing needs and rhythms of daily life.
