Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Peggy Slusarski
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps clients develop more secure ways of relating to others, which is helpful for family and relationship concerns and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, making it well suited for mood disorders, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Peggy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.
