Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Support
Peggy often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work in ways that are practical and emotionally aware. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while supporting movement toward values-based actions - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, abandonment issues, and attachment challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Peggy works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapts methods over time so therapy aligns with the client’s needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across distances, and access support in formats that suit individual comfort and communication styles.
