Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Peggy uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's own priorities guide the work - this approach helps people who want to explore identity, relationships, self-esteem, and life direction at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools to manage symptoms and build coping skills. Mindfulness-based techniques are integrated to help clients develop present-moment awareness, reduce rumination, and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related distress, and everyday overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Peggy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options, try strategies, and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Peggy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from anywhere, maintain continuity between sessions, and select the format that best suits a client's life and communication style.
