Peggy Harless, LMFT

Peggy Harless is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and ADHD. Peggy also lists blended family issues among her focuses and supports people dealing with communication problems and life changes.

Peggy draws on practical, hands-on strategies rather than vague theory. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what a person can do differently between meetings. She leans on cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based approaches to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Her work includes motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and other behaviors. Narrative techniques are sometimes used to help people tell a different story about their role in family dynamics or in recovery. Mindfulness practices are introduced in short, usable ways to reduce stress and ground attention.

Clients can expect direct conversation about problems and specific skills to practice. Peggy says she connects with most people and aims for practical steps rather than long lectures. She has experience across outpatient and inpatient settings, which informs how she approaches crises and ongoing concerns.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading and playing video games. That personal detail often makes it easier for some adults to relate and talk about everyday pressures in blended households and stepfamily contexts.
