Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Peggy blends client-centered work with evidence-informed strategies to meet each person where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and values - this approach is useful for building trust, self-esteem, and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often effective for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Peggy works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a predetermined model. This collaborative stance helps people engage in treatment that feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow access from home or other convenient locations, and support ongoing communication between sessions, helping clients stay connected to their work and progress.
