About Peggy
Peggy Yoder is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck around stress, anxiety, relationships, family changes, and anger. Peggy focuses on helping clients who want closer, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with practical skills from ACT, CBT, and DBT. Sessions revolve around naming hard emotions, noticing interaction patterns, and trying new ways of responding. Peggy uses straightforward tools to help people understand what keeps old problems repeating.
She also pays attention to attachment-related concerns such as abandonment, separation, and codependency. That includes work on communication problems, commitment struggles, and the impact of blended family dynamics. Peggy helps people untangle control issues, guilt, shame, and forgiveness so they can make clearer choices.
When life changes feel overwhelming, she helps clients develop coping strategies and concrete steps forward. Topics can include divorce and separation, domestic violence recovery, and dealing with infidelity. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on immediate, workable next steps.

How Peggy Uses EFT and Related Approaches Online
Peggy combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. EFT centers on noticing and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create, which can help with relationship and attachment concerns. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present, useful for anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and helps people experiment with new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Peggy will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can adapt as therapy moves forward.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time.
