About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 13 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and related areas.
Peter uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. He centers the conversation on what matters to the client and on practical steps that can change day-to-day feeling. Sessions often include talking through difficult moments, identifying patterns that keep people stuck, and trying small experiments to test new ways of relating and coping.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what clients bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop different behaviors. Existential ideas are woven in to help with questions about meaning, life direction, and midlife concerns.
Peter has experience in clinical, school, and community settings. He has worked with people facing mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, and those living with economic or housing instability. He speaks English and Spanish, which he uses in sessions as needed.
Outside of clinical work he spends time hiking, training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and cooking. These activities inform his interest in steady practice and small, consistent changes. To start, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Peter applies therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what clients bring. In plain terms this means sessions begin with what feels most pressing, and the therapist follows the client's lead to clarify issues and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood, or patterns like people-pleasing.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Peter discusses options with each person and recommends a path based on their goals, worries, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting counseling into everyday life - shorter check-ins on a busy day, sessions that avoid travel time, or scheduling around work and family demands. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online meetings to keep therapy consistent when in-person sessions are harder to arrange. Ask about language options and session length when booking so the format fits daily routines.
