About Peggy
Peggy Yoder is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel frustrated or overwhelmed and are looking to improve how they relate to themselves and others. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, and coping with life changes.
Yoder uses a mix of methods to match the needs and goals each person brings. She includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) where relevant. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and practice different skills between meetings.
She often addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment challenges, codependency, communication problems, and difficulties with commitment or control. She also works with blended family issues, divorce and separation concerns, domestic violence aftermath, and struggles with guilt, shame, or infidelity. The focus is on practical steps to reduce distress and improve relationship patterns.
Sessions are arranged to consider each person’s story and current circumstances. Peggy encourages short, actionable exercises and gradual changes rather than complex theory. People can expect clear behavioral goals and homework to reinforce progress.
She conducts therapy in English and practices in Texas as an LMFT. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the provider’s steps for scheduling a first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Peggy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or stress. ACT helps people clarify values and take action toward what matters, even when difficult feelings are present.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when relationship patterns are central. That work looks at how early connection styles influence current reactions and helps people try different interaction habits in relationships. Each approach is presented in clear, practical steps so people can practice new skills between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Peggy reviews a person’s goals, preferences, and daily reality and then recommends which methods to prioritize. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss what will work best given a person’s schedule, preferred pace, and need for focused skill practice.
