Using proven approaches in online care
Peggy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT often involves clear exercises and homework that target anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on learning to live around difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions; it can help with avoidance, stress, and meaning-related concerns.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, past experiences, and what feels workable for you. Together you pick strategies and adjust them as you learn what helps most in day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for keeping steady progress through life changes while balancing work and family demands.
