About Peggy Fair
Over a span of three decades Peggy spent 16 years as a mental health therapist in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and then dedicated 14 years to serving Marines and Navy servicemembers in military mental health roles. Alongside those positions she maintained a part-time private practice for 23 years, focusing primarily on couples therapy - a long-standing passion that allowed her to help partners resolve conflicts and build positive coping skills together.
Now semi-retired and living in Florida to be near family and the beach, Peggy continues to bring an integrative approach to therapy. She helps clients set meaningful goals and equips them with practical tools to achieve change, drawing from a range of therapeutic methods to match each person or couple’s needs. She describes her work as a privilege and an honor, and she remains responsive to inquiries, checking messages multiple times daily and replying within 24 hours or less.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and experiences, with the therapist offering empathy and support to help clients explore values, relationships, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and improving coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peggy Fair works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she integrates tools from different approaches to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing work can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity of care across locations, and to use different communication styles to support progress with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the work.
