Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary (Peggy) Keating draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma processing is needed - EMDR helps people reprocess distressing memories so they have less emotional intensity and interfere less with daily life. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her work, teaching gentle attention and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly tailor methods to each person, and she will collaborate with clients to determine which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy with Mary (Peggy) Keating offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
