Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Peggy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then commit to small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also brings attachment-based ideas into sessions to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. Choosing the right approach is a team effort - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as needed until something fits. That means techniques may shift across sessions to match what is most helpful. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep visual contact and do deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can work well for quick skill practice, brief support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum on progress.
