About Peggy
Peggy Fair has worked in mental health for 40 years. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, who spent the early part of her career in Virginia as an emergency mental health therapist. She moved to North Carolina 30 years ago and later worked many years in inpatient psychiatric care and with military service members.
For 16 years she was a mental health therapist at an inpatient psychiatric hospital.
Background and approach
After that she spent 14 years working with Marines and Navy service members as a mental health therapist. Alongside those roles she maintained a part-time independent practice for 23 years focused mainly on couples and relationship work. Peggy describes herself as an integrative therapist who draws on several tools to meet individual needs.
She helps people set clear goals and practices straightforward strategies to reach them. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She has a long history helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems.
Additional areas she addresses include grief, addictions, parenting strain, self-esteem, anger, and major life transitions such as divorce or midlife change. Peggy checks messages several times a day and typically responds within 24 hours or less. She is semi-retired and living in Florida while holding her LCSW license tied to North Carolina experience.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Online support
How Peggy’s approaches translate to online care
Peggy uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s needs and goals. That approach centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and helps build practical solutions for relationship, stress, or mood concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT provides concrete tools to modify unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns for anxiety, depression, or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peggy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors strategies over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the plan evolves with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits quick updates or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
