About Jacquella
CT LCSW with 3 years of clinical experience, Jacquella Forgey-Carpenter helps people with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, anger, depression, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She practices from Connecticut and speaks English. Jacquella presents herself as a practical collaborator rather than an expert who fixes problems for clients.
She works with parents and adults facing everyday pressures and harder life changes. Sessions focus on problem solving, building coping skills, and naming concrete steps to reduce overwhelming feelings. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to shape work that fits each person's needs.
Jacquella emphasizes strengths people already have. She helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior and then practices different ways of responding. That can mean learning grounding and emotion-regulation skills from DBT, trying CBT techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, or using mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
When family or relationship issues appear, she talks through communication patterns and offers tools to manage conflict and rebuild trust. For parenting stress she focuses on practical strategies that can be used between sessions. For grief or trauma she moves at a pace the person can manage while teaching coping skills.
To start, a short questionnaire helps match goals and plan a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Jacquella blends CBT, DBT, and online work
Jacquella draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework so clients can practice new ways of thinking between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. DBT tools can be useful for high-intensity feelings, anger management, and improving interactions with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacquella will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then pick or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that scheduling sessions around daily life makes therapy more practical. Online sessions can make it easier to fit skill practice into a typical week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent commuting. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
