01About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 13 years of clinical experience to his work. He speaks English and Spanish and frames sessions around listening first. He aims to help people feel understood and to find practical ways forward.
Peter focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. He also helps people with attachment issues, body image and eating concerns, codependency, communication problems, and challenges after divorce or separation.
Background and approach
He supports clients dealing with emptiness, isolation, guilt, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose and midlife changes. In sessions Peter uses approaches that match each person’s needs. He relies on client-centered techniques to build trust and to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to the client.
He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and stress. Peter has worked in clinical, school, and community settings, which shaped his practical focus. He often collaborates with other providers when that supports a person’s goals.
His background includes work with people facing mood challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Outside work he stays active through hiking, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and cooking. Those interests influence his belief that steady small steps and curiosity lead to change.
He invites people to start where they are and to explore realistic, doable shifts together.

How Peter’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy places the person and their story at the center of sessions. In an online setting that means the therapist listens closely and adapts pacing and questions to what you say. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small experiments to change them. Online CBT can include worksheets, behavioral assignments, and real-time coaching during video or phone sessions. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. Short guided exercises over video or audio can make those skills more accessible for daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented work.
