Dr. Peoples uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build small routines that reduce overwhelm. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and manage strong emotions.
Sessions are currently offered by tele-health video or telephone. Prospective clients should complete the site's matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability. Dr. Peoples keeps language simple and direct so busy parents and caregivers can follow the plan she lays out.
Her approach emphasizes teamwork and clear steps. People leave sessions with concrete things to try between meetings. Over time those small changes aim to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
How CBT and Mindfulness Work in Online Therapy
CBT helps by making thoughts and behaviors easier to notice and change. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new actions between sessions, and tracking what helps reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It is often used for stress, anxiety, anger, and career or relationship worries.Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and breathing to reduce reactivity. Exercises are simple and can be short practices to calm strong feelings or ground attention during a busy day. Mindfulness supports work on grief, trauma reactions, and compassion fatigue by building steadier awareness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adapt CBT or mindfulness exercises to fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where strategies are tested and adjusted over time.
Sessions are offered via tele-health video and by telephone at present. Please confirm the available session options before booking so they match your needs. Online sessions can be easier to schedule around work or family responsibilities, cut travel time, and let people use short check-ins when that fits their day.
