She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addictions, parenting concerns, and the many adjustments that come with life changes.

She has also received training in EMDR, which can be part of a broader treatment plan when appropriate.

She welcomes the opportunity to meet people who are ready to ask for and receive help and to support growth and change so they can work toward living their best life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Peggy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT is action-oriented and focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve daily functioning. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace of change and the therapist offers empathic understanding and validation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she integrates, helping clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Licensed professionals and therapists typically tailor methods to each person, and Peggy collaborates with clients to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that feels personally relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent care from home or elsewhere, schedule sessions more easily, and continue therapeutic progress even when life is in flux.
