About Peggy

LMFT in Georgia with 5 years of experience, Peggy Harless focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and grief. She works with people who are coping with depression, life changes, intimacy issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions draw on practical methods to help clients manage symptoms and make day-to-day changes.

Peggy describes a direct, down-to-earth style. She avoids overly sentimental language and aims to be straightforward in sessions. She has worked in outpatient clinics and inpatient psychiatric settings, which gives her experience with a range of needs and acuity levels.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Peggy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try different ways of responding. She also uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment skills and motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and other behaviors.

Clients can expect clear, practical conversations about what is going on and what to try next. Peggy pays attention to communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the challenges that come with divorce or separation. She also addresses body image, eating-related concerns, hoarding, and end-of-life matters.

Outside of clinical work she reads and plays video games. That personal interest informs her straightforward, relatable tone in sessions. To begin, people are invited to ask questions and use the site’s matching steps to schedule an initial meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that fit their values. It’s useful when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lower reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adjust the approach as needed over time.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments by removing travel time and allowing a quicker check-in when needed. Different formats also allow for shorter or longer meetings depending on what a person needs that day. Ask about the session types offered and how they typically structure remote appointments to find what fits best.
