About Peggy

Peggy Yoder is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with six years of experience. She works with adults who feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck in their relationships and family roles. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family concerns, anger, and coping with life changes.

Peggy helps people talk through attachment concerns such as abandonment and insecure connection patterns. She also addresses issues like communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and blended family challenges. She lists experience with divorce and separation, infidelity, guilt and shame, and domestic violence as areas she will address in therapy.

Her approach mixes several well-known methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused methods guide work on how people form and react to close bonds.

Peggy aims to tailor work to each person’s story and goals. Sessions focus on practical changes in communication, emotion regulation, and decision making. She supports clients who want clearer boundaries, better conflict handling, and more consistent emotional connection.

Sessions are conducted in English. People should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, readers follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

Approaches used in virtual sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help when life changes or stress make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that reinforce anxiety or conflict and then practicing clearer ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional reactions and helps people shift toward more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different strategies and tracking what feels most useful over time.

Confirm the session formats available before you book because this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can help people fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, and make it easier to check in between responsibilities. They also allow for quieter, less visual check-ins when needed or for using video when a longer, interactive session is helpful. Discuss practical arrangements during scheduling so sessions match your daily life and goals.
