About Peggy

Peggy Slusarski is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 31 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles like low self-esteem, communication problems, and the strain that comes with caregiving. Peggy listens closely and helps people take small, practical steps forward.

Her work often focuses on attachment issues and the effects of abandonment, adoption, or foster care history.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, or the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Those dealing with dissociation, codependency, or avoidant and dependent personality concerns can find a calm, steady approach here. Peggy blends several approaches to match each person's needs.

She uses Attachment-Based Therapy tools alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. Elements of Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used when helpful to build skills and manage intense emotions. Sessions aim to make problems easier to handle day to day.

People learn coping techniques, clearer communication habits, and ways to reduce overwhelming worry. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s goals. Peggy provides services in English and practices in Florida.

Her LCSW credential stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and reflects her professional license in the state. Practical steps and steady support are core parts of her practice.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can help people spot attachment reactions and practice new ways of relating in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice painful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is useful for worries, depression, and problems that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face without traveling. Phone sessions are a good option when video is not possible or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and allow different ways to practice new skills.
