Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Peter Mittiga combines client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's goals guide the work and the therapist offers empathy and support. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused intervention that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge, often used for post-traumatic stress and deep-seated traumatic reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Peter works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the approach evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy with Peter is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions during busy periods, life transitions, or when in-person visits are not feasible, while still allowing therapists to provide tailored, skill-focused, and exploratory work.
