Background and approach
Peter uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. Peter has seven years of counseling experience and has worked with people facing mood disorders, addiction, multicultural stresses, immigration issues, and trauma.
He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. His work includes attention to panic, social anxiety, bipolar mood issues, and grief. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can pick what fits their life.
Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Peter aims to help people build coping skills and move toward clearer goals. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.
The process is collaborative, with straightforward steps and practical aims.

04Online support
How targeted approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with panic, insomnia, social anxiety, and mood issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is often helpful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From that conversation they will recommend methods and adjust them as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling accessible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, study, or family obligations while keeping the focus on practical progress.
