How her approaches guide online work
Peggy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take actions that match their values. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and the sense of being stuck by teaching simple exercises to shift focus and behavior.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. This can be useful for people dealing with relationship trouble, abandonment wounds, or struggles with intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Peggy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so people can practice skills between sessions and carry change into everyday life.
