About Jacquella
Jacquella Forgey-Carpenter is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Connecticut. She has three years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and anger. She speaks English and focuses on practical steps that clients can use right away.
She starts by listening closely and treating each person as the expert on their life. That means sessions focus on the client’s goals and strengths. She encourages small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. In session she helps people recognize unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and practice calm responses to triggers. These tools are used to address trauma, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety as well.
Jacquella also works with family and parenting concerns by helping individuals improve communication and manage conflict. She supports people dealing with attachment issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions of self-worth. When anger or strong emotions come up, she focuses on skills to reduce reactivity and restore connection.
Starting therapy with her is described in simple steps: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. She values collaboration and steady progress, helping clients move toward clearer thinking and better daily coping.

Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between sessions, which works well over video or messaging.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those are taught with clear steps and skills practice, making them easy to review in phone or chat formats and to apply in daily situations.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and focus on approaches that match the client’s pace and needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and share screens for worksheets. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is low and work well for longer conversations. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, homework review, or shorter coaching-style support between longer sessions.
