About Peggy

Peggy Fair is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience in the mental health field. Her career began in Virginia, where she worked as an emergency mental health therapist in a community mental health clinic, and later she moved to North Carolina where she spent many years building her practice. Over a 16-year period she worked as a mental health therapist in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and she then served as a mental health clinician for 14 years working with Marines and Navy servicemembers in military settings.

Alongside full-time roles, Peggy maintained a part-time private practice for 23 years focusing primarily on couples therapy, helping partners resolve conflicts and develop healthier coping skills together. That work represents a long-standing professional passion for supporting relationships and family dynamics. She describes her approach as integrative - drawing from multiple therapeutic tools to meet each person or couple where they are and to help them move toward their goals.

Peggy is semi-retired and living near family and the beach. She enjoys helping people define practical goals for change and equipping them with the tools to reach those goals. She checks messages several times a day, seven days a week, and aims to respond within 24 hours or less, making herself accessible to those seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Peggy uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, understanding, and supporting each person as they identify what they want to change and develop practical steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT offers structured tools for changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - skills that can be especially helpful for relationship conflicts, anger, and coping with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peggy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques as progress is made. Online sessions allow that collaboration to happen with convenience and flexibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and geographic constraints, while still receiving consistent support from a licensed therapist who can tailor treatment to each person’s situation.
