About Peter

Dr. Peter Dell is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 22 years of practice based in Florida. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep trouble, anger, and low self-esteem. He also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and patterns like codependency and attachment difficulties.

He uses clear, practical conversation to sort out what feels stuck. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past bonds shape current choices.

Dr. Dell also integrates client-centered listening and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those fit a person's goals. That means he often combines talking with specific tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and setting boundaries. He aims to help people recognize patterns such as people-pleasing or staying in one-sided relationships.

People who contact him can expect straightforward discussion about next steps. He asks practical questions about everyday routines, relationships, and stressors. From there he and the client pick priorities and try small, testable changes rather than promising overnight fixes.

He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present-day patterns. It can help when someone notices repeating relationship roles, fear of abandonment, or trouble trusting others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotional bonds in close relationships and helps people name feelings and ask for what they need.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most practical. That conversation guides whether they focus more on thoughts and skills, attachment patterns, or emotions and relationship moments. The choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into daily life. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to have consistent meetings around work, caregiving, or other routines, and they can allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these meetings to teach emotion regulation skills, practice communication and boundary-setting, and review homework between sessions.
