About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. He brings 13 years of clinical experience to his work and speaks both English and Spanish. Peter aims to create an environment where people feel listened to and understood.
He centers sessions on empathy and trust. Peter focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. He also helps people facing codependency, attachment struggles, body image concerns, and family or communication issues.
Peter draws on several practical approaches to shape each session. He uses Client-Centered methods to follow a person’s lead and build rapport. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Existential ideas support work on meaning, purpose, and choices.
His background includes work in clinical, school, and community settings, and he has supported people through major life transitions and mood concerns. He collaborates with medical providers when that aligns with someone’s goals.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Peter’s experience includes serving immigrant and underserved communities, and he brings those perspectives into direct, down-to-earth conversations in session. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and doing therapy online
Peter uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and build a trusting working relationship. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people feel seen so they can explore what matters most to them.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and mood problems. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often includes small experiments people can try between sessions.
Existential Therapy is part of his toolkit when people want to work on meaning, life purpose, and difficult choices. This approach supports honest conversations about values and the direction someone wants their life to take.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Peter will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then tailor methods to fit those needs rather than using a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or make scheduling around work easier. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues outside appointment times.
