Evidence-informed approaches and online therapy options
Peggy Fair commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore values and goals while building self-understanding - it is especially useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic habits; it offers concrete skills for coping and problem solving. DBT combines skill coaching in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support clients facing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Peggy works collaboratively with each client to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques rather than relying on a single model so therapy fits the person rather than the person fitting the model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and ongoing work can be supported by live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow consistent engagement with a licensed professional from a range of locations.
