Peggy Giglio, LMHC

With 25 years in the mental health field, I have utilized my genuine compassion, empathy and humor in partnering with clients to help them develop skills and gain insights, resulting in more fulfilling, productive lives.

I've had the privilege of working in the mental health field for over 25 years. My aim is to provide a caring, supportive and comfortable environment in which to help my clients achieve their mental health goals. I strive to utilize my genuine care and compassion for others, as well as my sense of humor and warm nature to help achieve this outcome.
​
I offer both individual psychotherapy as well as couples counseling. I also have a speciality in working with clients in the performing arts field, using my knowledge of the industry to inform my approach and provide a comfortable foundation from which to work.

My treatment approach is based on a solution-focused perspective, and I largely follow an evidence-based CBT/REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) model, but ultimately take into consideration a client's unique strengths, needs, preferences and challenges when determining the most beneficial course of treatment.

My work with couples is informed by an array of approaches from leaders in the field, including John Gottman's work and research, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) as well as REBT concepts. Emphasis is placed on communication skills and effective conflict resolution, and I may utilize any number of techniques and approaches to achieve identified objectives, depending on the unique needs of each couple.

Additionally, since research has proven time and again that the best therapeutic outcomes result from a strong working relationship between client and therapist, an emphasis is placed on building trust and rapport, and offering a relaxed yet professional environment.

Sessions are held remotely through a secure and reliable HIPAA compliant teletherapy platform that allows for flexibility, convenience, safety and confidentiality. I offer both daytime and evening appointments for the convenience of my clients.
