About Peggy
Peggy Fair is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years in mental health. She has worked in community clinics, inpatient hospitals, and with military service members. Peggy blends long experience with a straightforward, goal-focused style to help people manage life stressors and relationship struggles.
Early in her career she provided emergency mental health care in Virginia. After moving to North Carolina she spent 16 years as an inpatient psychiatric therapist.
Background and approach
That was followed by 14 years working with Marines and Navy service members in a military mental health role. Alongside those roles she ran a part-time independent practice for 23 years. Evening appointments let her meet with couples concentrating on relationship conflict and building constructive coping skills together.
That work remains a central interest in her practice. Now semi-retired and living in Florida, she values being near family and the coast while continuing clinical work. She describes her approach as integrative, pulling from multiple methods to fit each person’s goals.
Peggy helps people set clear, achievable goals and teaches practical tools to reach them. She checks messages several times a day, seven days a week, and aims to reply within 24 hours or less. Her practice offers video, phone, chat, and text options for flexible scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Peggy often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals. This approach is useful for anyone who wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and make choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT provides clear strategies to reduce anxiety, cope with anger, and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Peggy works with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging can fit into busy days and let clients share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent within a varied schedule.
