Hey there! My name is Peyton and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky. I received my Master's from the University of Kentucky and have been practicing for a little over 3 years now. I seek to help teenagers, young adults, older adults and seniors who are struggling with life's anxieties, stressors and transitions and to help you learn how to be the best you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session we will start off with brief introductions, and move on to discussing your "why". Why are you here, what made you take this brave step to attend therapy? After discussing your why we will work together to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs and wants.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel my greatest strength as a provider are my listening skills. I know first hand that sometimes the best advice or solution is no advice, sometimes just being able to vent and have a listening ear can help greatly. I also strive to create a warm, welcoming and safe environment for all of my clients, tailoring our sessions and dialogue to their specific needs.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I enjoy using CBT as it can be used in conjuction with a lot of other therapies and modalities, or used by itself. Our experiences throughout life can affect how we see the world and how we interact or react to it. Sometimes those experiences have forced us to have unhealthy ways of thinking and responding. So, I use CBT to help you identify those unhealthy ways of thinking and responding, challenge and then reframe them into positive healthy ways.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
With mindfullness based therapy I help my clients learn to be present with themselves in the moment. We will work together to increase your awareness on the thoughts, feelings, and actions that might be hindering your progress.
Strength-Based
With a strengths based approach I want to help my clients realize all their positive aspects that they bring to their unique life challenges. Rather than solely focusing on the "problem" I want to help my clients focus on their resilience, growth and positive attributes. We will work together to harness your unique skills to overcome your obstacles and achieve your goals. I want to help you build your self-confidence and guide you towards living a full-filled life!
