About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. He brings 13 years of counseling experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
He centers his work on Client-Centered Therapy, using the relationship with the client as the starting point. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
How Peter works
Peter weaves in existential ideas when clients are wrestling with meaning or life purpose. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and small, workable steps. For example, he might help a person practice new communication choices, test beliefs that fuel anxiety, or map routines that support mood.
He explains concepts plainly and checks in about what is or is not helpful. Peter has worked across clinical and community settings over more than a decade. That background informs how he supports issues such as attachment problems, codependency, body image concerns, and challenges after separation or divorce.
He also helps people coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, or feelings of emptiness. People who connect with him can expect a conversational style that balances listening with practical strategies. He aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for those who prefer either language.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, which can help when someone needs space to talk through emotions or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves setting small goals, trying new actions, and reviewing what works, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions, and then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative work helps match techniques to each person's situation and values.
Online therapy offers several convenient ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, journaling-style updates, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
