Therapist

You may be used to being the strong one—the person others rely on—but lately you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself. You may be dealing with depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition that’s left you feeling stuck. If you’re tired of just getting through the day and want to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help. I work with adults across all life stages who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and major life changes.

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

Dakota Forrest

Dakota Forrest

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m Dakota, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and I specialize in helping adults navigate

anxiety and depression. We're talking not just about managing the symptoms, but actually understanding what’s driving them and shifting how they show up in your life.

I work with adults 18 and older across Pennsylvania via telehealth, which means quality therapy that fits your schedule, your commute, and your reality. My approach draws from a wide toolkit- CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy- because no two people experience anxiety or depression the same way. What we use together will be built around you, not a protocol.

I’m currently accepting new clients on Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and UHC.
