About Kevin
Kevin Peterca is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. He offers straightforward, goal-focused counseling for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, career issues, depression, addictions, and related concerns. He communicates in plain language and works to make sessions practical and relatable.
Kevin has worked in counseling for 35 years. He draws on several approaches but keeps the conversation centered on what the client wants to change.
How Kevin works
Sessions aim to identify clear goals, test small changes, and build skills people can use between meetings. Kevin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work and mindfulness practices to ease stress and improve focus.
When helpful, he uses solution-focused ideas to move toward quick, practical steps. He invites clients to shape the work and to bring their preferences into planning. Kevin emphasizes collaboration - he suggests experiments and adjustments, then reviews what worked.
That style helps people see progress and stay engaged. Kevin has supported people with caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and mood disorders among other issues. He aims to be direct while remaining warm and encouraging.
Prospective clients can expect straightforward guidance and a focus on measurable change.

Therapeutic approaches for online counseling and everyday life
Kevin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices during online work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can lower stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the best approach is part of the process rather than a one-time decision. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to match methods to goals, preferences, and how they respond in the first sessions. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan fits the client's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging works well for short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life without extra travel.
