About Peggy

She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and is affirming of the LGBT community. Her work aims to meet individuals where they are and to adapt conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
How Peggy works
Peggy listens closely to what matters most to the client before shaping next steps. In sessions she blends several approaches to match the problem at hand. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and openness.
She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. When motivation or decision-making is the focus, she draws on motivational interviewing to support commitment and forward movement. For deeper patterns tied to past experience, elements of psychodynamic thinking can help make sense of long-standing struggles.
Peggy aims to make therapy practical and grounded. She helps people set clear goals, try small changes, and track progress over time. Her style is direct but kind, offering tools and perspective so clients can manage stress, sleep better, cope with grief, and improve relationships.

How Peggy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and heard; this approach helps when people need space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure or stuck by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Peggy will discuss goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She aims to tailor conversations and tools to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, day-to-day coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
