About Gage
Gage Peavler is a licensed master social worker who listens closely and helps people move past what holds them back. He creates a calm space to talk about anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and stress. He also supports people dealing with aging concerns, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness, and the strain of caregiving.
Gage came to therapy after his own experience in counseling changed his life. That experience led him to train as an LMSW and to focus on steady, practical help. He uses concrete tools so people can notice small changes and build on them day to day.
In sessions he blends approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, Imago relationship work, and mindfulness. He helps people identify unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and set clear, achievable goals. The tone is straightforward and collaborative rather than academic.
Gage pays attention to how trauma and long-term stress affect thinking and behavior. He helps clients work through dissociation, codependency, commitment struggles, and communication problems. He also supports people navigating divorce, separation, and the effects of disaster.
Clients who want practical strategies for focus, healthier relationships, or relief from overwhelming feelings may find his style useful. He works from Michigan and offers therapy in English, combining empathy with real-world steps to help people feel better and function more smoothly.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the distress that follows trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life, checking in and adjusting as progress is made. Therapy is shaped around what a client needs and prefers rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and allow work without commuting. Licensed professionals can still use ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques effectively over distance while focusing on skills, homework, and problem-solving that translate into everyday life.
