About Peggy
Peggy Fair is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of experience in mental health. She has worked in emergency mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, and with military servicemembers. Peggy now lives in Florida and continues to offer clinical work remotely to people in North Carolina and beyond.
Peggy spent the early part of her career working in a Virginia community mental health clinic as an emergency mental health therapist. After moving to North Carolina 30 years ago, she spent 16 years as a therapist in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. She then worked for the military for 14 years supporting Marines and Navy servicemembers.
Alongside those roles, Peggy ran a part-time private practice for 23 years. In that practice she mainly met couples in the evenings to help with relationship conflicts and to develop coping skills together. That work shaped how she approaches relationship and intimacy-related concerns today.
Her clinical style is practical and goal-focused. She helps people set clear goals and teaches tools to reach them. Peggy describes herself as an integrative therapist who draws on a range of methods to suit each person's needs.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as blended family stress, caregiver strain, codependency, divorce and separation, infidelity, and midlife challenges.
Peggy checks messages several times each day, seven days a week, and aims to respond within 24 hours or less. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients who can schedule time across time zones.
How Peggy uses therapeutic approaches online
Peggy uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on what matters to the person in front of her. That approach means the session centers on the client's goals and experiences and on helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel anxiety, anger, or depression. CBT offers concrete skills for everyday problems and for managing mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Peggy will work with each person to try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. She draws on different tools over time and checks in to see what is helping and what needs adjustment.
The practical benefits of remote work are about fitting therapy into daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or caregiving duties and to maintain continuity when someone moves or travels. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. The focus is on finding workable times and methods so therapy can be part of a busy life rather than another obligation.
