He works with clients who are coping with impulsivity, forgiveness struggles, men's issues, narcissism-related problems, and post-traumatic stress. He explains options and helps people choose approaches that fit their situation.

Practical approaches and online sessions
Forest works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Cognitive approaches help people notice and test anxious thoughts, which can reduce avoidance and make social situations feel more manageable. Behavioral techniques break problems into small, doable steps such as short exposure exercises or practiced conversation starters that build confidence over time.He also uses trauma-informed strategies to help people who have post-traumatic stress or compassion fatigue. Those methods emphasize pacing, clear goals, and tools to reduce reactivity so daily life becomes more predictable. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try based on needs, goals, and what feels doable in everyday life.
