People can expect a blend of talking, skills practice, and real-life experiments between sessions. Dr. Peoples supports setting clear, manageable goals and tracking progress. She frames work in concrete steps rather than abstract talk.

Using CBT and Mindfulness in online sessions
Dr. Peoples often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps people notice thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and try practical changes in everyday life.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional noticing. Mindfulness work can help with stress, anger, and grief by creating space to choose responses instead of reacting automatically.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist collaborate to find the mix of skills and conversation that fits their needs.
