01About Peter
Peter Cosens is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and life changes. He works with clients who feel stuck, burned out, or uncertain about next steps. His style is direct but compassionate, aiming to help people make concrete progress rather than stay in therapy indefinitely.
He listens first and helps people decide what to try next. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
He balances support with gentle challenge to reduce unhelpful patterns and move toward clearer goals. Peter blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and shift painful relationship patterns.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when clients want tools for staying calm or making changes happen. With 13 years of experience, Peter brings steady guidance for people coping with trauma, family-of-origin issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and addiction concerns. He says therapy should be honest and efficient, not endless or costly.
People meet by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging depending on what fits their life. Sessions are scheduled through the platform by completing a short questionnaire and choosing a time that matches the therapist's availability.

04Online support
How Peter’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's priorities and lived experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Peter will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try methods, check progress, and adjust the plan so therapy fits the person's needs.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make help easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible contact for quick support or when scheduling is tight. These options help people keep continuity of care and practice skills between meetings.
