About Peggy

Peggy Fair brings 40 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to her work in mental health. She began her career providing emergency mental health services in a community clinic in Virginia and later spent three decades in North Carolina building a depth of clinical experience. Over the years she served 16 years as a mental health therapist in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and 14 years providing mental health care to Marines and Navy servicemembers. Her long career also included a 23-year part-time private practice focused primarily on couples therapy, where she helped partners resolve conflict and build stronger coping skills together.

Peggy describes herself as an integrative therapist who draws from multiple tools to support change. She concentrates on helping people set meaningful goals and learn skills to reach them, working with issues that include stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, and a wide range of life transitions. She is particularly experienced with blended family matters, caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and first responder issues.

Now semi-retired and living in Florida, Peggy continues to welcome those seeking support and offers responsive communication; she checks messages several times a day, seven days a week, and aims to reply within 24 hours or less.

Approaches and Online Care for Practical Change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and strengths, offering a collaborative, empathetic space where individuals and couples can explore values and make meaningful choices. It is helpful for relationship work, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing strong emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts.

Peggy Fair works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Together the therapist and client evaluate progress and adjust methods as needed to find the best path forward.

Online therapy with Peggy can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, varied time zones, and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from locations that may otherwise be challenging to reach.
