About Gage Peavler

Gage Peavler, LMSW, is a therapist who is passionate about listening closely to the stories people carry and creating space to work through life’s hardest moments. With 5 years of experience, he focuses on helping clients face difficult concerns and begin healing from the effects of trauma, especially when anxiety or depression feel overwhelming or when past experiences continue to weigh heavily in the present.

His path into the field was shaped by personal experience in therapy and the meaningful impact it had on his own quality of life, which inspired him to devote his career to supporting others in that same spirit of growth and change. Clients may come to therapy looking for practical strategies to strengthen focus, build momentum toward personal goals, and develop skills that make daily life feel more manageable.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Gage Peavler draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be practical and engaging in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to build coping skills for concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression, and to support day-to-day follow-through on goals.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult internal experiences while still moving toward what matters most. It can help clients build flexibility, reconnect with values, and take meaningful steps even when anxiety, grief, or painful memories feel intense.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can also be part of the work, with a focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be helpful when emotions feel hard to manage or relationships feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gage works collaboratively with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and to shape sessions in a way that feels supportive and workable over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to get support within a busy schedule and choose a format that fits how a client communicates best.
