About
Peggy Fair, LCSW, brings 40 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. Her early career included emergency mental health work in a community mental health clinic in Virginia. She moved to North Carolina three decades ago and continued to build a broad clinical background across inpatient and military settings.
Over a 16-year period she practiced in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and for 14 years she served as a mental health therapist working with Marines and Navy servicemembers. In addition, she maintained a part-time clinical practice for 23 years, meeting with couples in the evenings to address relationship conflicts and strengthen coping as a partnership.
As an integrative clinician, she draws on a range of therapeutic tools to help people define meaningful goals and develop practical skills to reach them. She describes her role as providing direction and techniques tailored to each person or couple. She is semi-retired, checks messages several times a day, seven days a week, and typically responds within 24 hours or less.

Approach to remote clinical work
Peggy uses an integrative approach that often combines client-centered principles with structured techniques. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy clients can explore patterns of thought and behavior and develop targeted skills for managing symptoms and stressors. Sessions emphasize collaboration as the client and therapist set goals and choose practical strategies together.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy are also part of her toolkit for learning skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. For those addressing difficult past experiences, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers an approach aimed at processing and managing trauma-related responses while attending to safety and pacing.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the mode that fits their schedule and communication preferences. The focus is on matching methods to each person or couple so work can proceed in a collaborative, skill-oriented way.
