Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns - it looks at connection, trust, and how people form bonds, and can be helpful for relationship challenges and intimacy-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead - this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth by creating a collaborative environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peggy works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This shared decision-making helps tailor care to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are conducted - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations when appropriate.
