Jacquella Forgey-Carpenter

I provide virtual therapy for clients located in Connecticut and Florida. I primarily specialize in emotional regulation, meaning if you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, anger, or other emotions that are impacting you, I'm the therapist for you. Likewise, our emotions are strongly impacted by our thoughts-so if you are experiencing intrusive or unwanted thoughts, we will work on those as well. I also help my clients to improve self-esteem, learn to set boundaries, and reach their goals in life. My other areas of experience include personality disorders and OCD.

As a therapist, my approach is grounded, conversational, and free of judgment. Clients often tell me it feels like talking to someone who “gets it,” while still being guided in a way that creates real change. I teach my clients applicable coping skills to help better manage symptoms.

In our first session we will complete a brief intake to gather some background information. This gives us a better idea of what the main problem is and how you would like for it to be different. Together, we will then use this insight to build therapy goals and create a plan of how we will attain those goals. You don’t have to have the perfect words, the perfect mood, or the perfect version of yourself when you show up. Simply come as you are.
