More about Peggy
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My name is Peggy Wilson, I have a Masters degree in Human Science with an emphasis on workplace behavior. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years experience. My background in the business world in leadership positions in the profit and non profit setting, along with my mental health training and experience,
equips me to make a valuable contribution to clients dealing with anxiety, depression, lack of coping skills, feelings of uncertainty, emptiness, lack, difficulty adjusting to life changes and transitions. Much of our lives are centered around our work or lack of work across our lifespan; it is important to become enlightened to the drivers of our own behavior and how it impacts business and personal relationships. Very often clients discover barriers, childhood traumas, self-sabotaging and self-esteem roadblocks that impact every area of their life and create needless struggle and pain.
My approach to helping my clients is to act as a guide and raise their level of awareness to resolve or dissolve problems that could otherwise create a lifetime of suffering.
I am living, breathing proof that good counseling has the potential to bring peace of mind and feelings of well-being. I work with my clients to set goals and landmarks and encourage them to keep going. Counseling is a process, it can make the biggest difference in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Peggy is amazing. I don’t know what I would do without her.
She's a great therapist
You are absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything.
Peggy is an amazing therapist. She's able to adapt to my needs.
Peggy is always insightful and upbeat, both qualities I appreciate and need. When obstacles pop up -- mostly internet and power-supply related - she is available to update our schedule.
Peggy is a great therapist and I learn so much from her. I love her insights and incredible attention to detail as well as her focus. I am so glad I was matched with her.
Peggy Wilson helped me get through a difficult loss in my life. She is kind, compassionate, and professional. I highly recommend her.
Peggy is a wonderful resource for thoughtful questions and insights. I am happy to have found her as I have been working past old patterns and her support in this transitional phase in my life. Highly recommend!
I appreciate and thank my therapist for the therapy she is providing for me.
Peggy is amazing at what she does.
Peggy is a fantastic counselor. She listens and moves you toward your goals. Her pacing and personality make me feel comfortable. I highly recommend her.
Peggy is a fantastic listener that has a lot of real world experiences to glean insights from. Every session she puts a smile on her face no matter if the session is at 7 am or late in the evening. Absolute super star.
She listens
Peggy has an amazing ability to create a safe an understanding space to address concerns. I was a bit nervous to discuss such difficult topics online, but Peggy helped ease my anxieties and brought out some great insights that will assist in my healing.
Peggy is a fantastic therapist! Peggy made sure that my first visit with her was comfortable and warm. Peggy made me feel so much more confident in the direction I am going with my life, and gave me hope.
She has been wonderful and mostly listens. This is my first time with a therapist but I’ve had life coaches before. I’m use to doing reflective homework after a session or having solid takeaways and this feels a bit different. We are just starting our first few sessions, so maybe it’s still the “get to know you stage” of things. I would recommend her up to this point.
Terrific
Peggy is a wonderful therapist. She fully supports me and gives me the confidence I need to enforce boundaries in all aspects of life. She challenges my negative thought processes and reframes things in a more constructive manner, but never makes me feel as though she’s talking down to me or belittling the emotions I experience. I absolutely would recommend Peggy to anyone seeking help.
Thank you so much for your help!
Peggy has been great to work with. She is a good listener. She understands the challenges that come from a demanding and fast paced work environment and has been able to provide exercises and solutions that have helped me better manage my stress and be better in tune with other feelings.
Very understanding and welcoming coupled with great insight.
Peggy is great! She is understanding, wise, and empathetic. I feel heard and gain confidence with each session to make changes in my daily life to better myself.
Absolutely wonderful
Peggy has been extremely helpful
Peggy is a wonderful therapist. We had a rocky start but things have only gotten better as we've continued.
She has been great. Very understanding, helps when she can, understands when something comes up, etc. I feel comfortable with her. Thank you.
Wonderful
Peggy is great to work with. She listens and has helped me tremendously
A wonderful therapist. Peggy always listens to my concerns and issues. Her voice and advice are always so uplifting and helpful. I always feel like I can see things in a completely new light, after each session with Peggy.
Peggy has changed my life for the better in many ways. I have grown so much thanks to her, and I’ve made better choices to prioritize my happiness and wellbeing. Everyone in my life has heard about the incredible Peggy!!! Best advice I can give to others is “get you a Peggy”! ❤️
She listens really well and I've never felt bad for trauma dumping on her (which I know should be the norm as this is her job, but like past experiences and whatnot) and she helps me sort out my head too
Great therapist compassionate caring understanding give you things to think about
i’ve only had two sessions with her so far but she really understands what i’m going through and challenges me to be better and it really helps a lot. she’s easy to get along with and i love the laughs we share.
Peggy navigates the conversation more efficiently than I could ever imagine and has given tools to implement and very helpful insight from an unbiased third party. She’s supportive, and gives great supplemental worksheets to provoke deeper thoughts and understanding. I would and have referred two friends to her specifically.
Peggy Wilson is positive, caring, and genuine. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a therapist who listens and will go the extra mile to help you get what you need to cope with life in a healthy way.
Peggy is such a good listener and gives me practical tools for coping with my anxiety and depression, and working through some of my issues. She relates well with me and appropriately uses her skills and experience to help me think through things. I highly recommend Peggy!
Peggy is absolutely amazing. She’s been so helpful and understanding I’m every way. I’ve never felt comfortable talking to counselors in person so having these options for chat is even better. I’ve felt better ever since I’ve spoken to her. Thank you Peggy.
Peggy has been an exceptionally kind, understanding and incredible pillar of support for me with my PTSD, depression and anxiety. She has taught me many tools to overcome the issues I have faced my entire life. The quality of my life has improved drastically since my sessions began with Peggy. I cannot recommend her enough!
Peggy Wilson is a great coach. She’s always looking for strategies to help me cope within a difficult situation that does not involve leaving every situation that causes my discomfort. I feel that that aspect is extremely important. We can’t all just run away from things that cause our discomfort situation will always present themselves and without abilities to thrive in spite of those circumstances we will not be able to exist in a world full of those circumstances. It has taken a long time to find a counselor who is willing to meet me where I’m at and help me work through the dynamics of my own circumstances rather than simply leaving over and over again and never learning how to change myself to become someone better able to handle those dynamics! This has been a game changer for me!
She's well experienced and gives educational responses to your questions and problems. I recommend her highly :)
I love speaking with Peggy. She really listens to me. She helps me navigate through my feelings and understand what I am feeling and what my needs are.
Peggy is an excellent listener and I greatly value her input. She has been instrumental in helping me cope with stress from family members etc. in my life. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help and great counseling!
Peggy is amazing. She listens patiently as I talk through issues. All of her advice / suggestions / feedback have been really great and applicable. She is extremely empathetic. When she has not heard from me in a while, she always messages me to make sure I am ok.
Peggy is extremely good at what she does. I always feel like I have a fresh start on my week with a clear and level head after she gets through sorting out all the junk! Her experience is evident by seeing that she is able to break down mental barriers and instills the assurance needed to understand that we can live whole and happy lives despite our heavy burdens life has brought us. Thank you Peggy!
Peggy is kind and challenges me to be more present every day. I highly recommend working with her!
Plenty resources to choose from
Peggy is professional, personable, and caring and after every session, I have helpful tools to work with until we speak again.
I started therapy after my mothers death in may of this year. I was anxious about therapy but I knew it was what I needed. I’m so thankful I got matched with Peggy! She has been so supportive, kind, and gives wonderful advice and tricks for staying present and mindful in the moment. She really has helped me through a lot of my fear and anxiety about my career, relationships and life in general. , she has encouraged me to start loving myself, which has been incredibly difficult for me. But everyday is a little easier, a little brighter, and I’m enjoying my life a little more each day. Of course the struggles of daily life are still here, but that’s just life, I’m learning to focus on the good, accept the bad, ignore the ugly, and bask in the beauty and glory of this crazy life. Miss Peggy has been incredibly instrumental throughout my healing process! I look forward to our conversations as often as I can schedule them. Much love and peace! ✌
Peggy Is great. Listens and is very understanding
Peggy has been great this whole time. She’s very understanding constantly and always gives me tips to fix my issues.
Kind, very understandable, very caring and encouraging. She takes your words to heart and helps you realize the root of your situation. I'm really grateful to have her in my life.
Peggy came into my life when I needed her most. I can’t even begin to describe how helpful she’s been to me, but I feel like a new person and we only really talked about one aspect of life
Great knowledge
Ms Peggy is amazing. Her help in the short time we have known each other has been instrumental in moving through family obstacles and recurring trauma. So grateful I have met her.
Peggy is a great counselor. She helps me think rationally and offers perspective I wouldn’t have otherwise. She is quick to respond and I leave our conversations feeling hopeful and more at peace than before.
I can't believe how accessible Peggy is and how willing she is to help with life issues no matter how big or how small. I highly recommend her.
Having a childhood trauma of rape and a few bad experiences with therapy before I was hesitant to do this. After the very first video meeting with Peggy Wilson (MA, LPC) I felt an overwhelming relief of comfort and trust in her as well as growth in my journey to a healthy mind. Thank you so much Peggy you really are a life saver!
I really enjoyed my first appointment with Peggy Wilson. It was extremely helpful and she gave me hope for learning new coping mechanisms and ways to spend my time other than turning to unhealthy avenues such as alcohol and sex. I am really looking forward to working with her in the future.
Peggy is the Best! She listens, helps you understand what your feeling, her wisdom is spot on, she speaks truth in love, gives me things to work on and helps me work through them. She has made a big impact in my life! So thankful for Peggy!
She is very understanding and listens very well. I’m very happy with how things are and looking forward to more.
Peggy Wilson is amazing at what she does. She understanding and supportive and helps me to look at things from a different perspective. She helps me by not telling me what to do but by suggestions she makes. That is the best part. Most therapist I have had tell me what to do instead of give me suggestions of things I can try to help the situation. She is all around an amazing person and counselor.
Peggy has been a great help in my self development journey and I am loving speaking with her every week. She is very wise and offers a unique perspective that I need!
