Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, family-of-origin issues, codependency, and the emotional pain of guilt or shame. Her work often includes helping people manage anger, dissociation, and difficulties with commitment or communication. Peggy uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods.

Peggy describes therapy as a process that asks for time and effort and values the courage it takes to ask for help. She frames growth as practical work toward clearer choices and more usable coping skills. People who reach out can expect a calm, steady guide who focuses on real-life solutions.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that move a life in a chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating issues, and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Peggy will discuss your needs and goals and try methods that suit your situation. Over time she helps adjust strategies so the work stays useful and relevant to what you want to change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow deeper face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other life demands while keeping treatment focused and practical.
