Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Therapist
Peter Steele commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT emphasizes acceptance of inner experience alongside committed action, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and struggles around meaning.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms such as anxiety and low mood by teaching strategies to change thought patterns and build new habits.
Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of his work, providing empathic, nonjudgmental support that centers the client's experience. This approach helps clients strengthen self-esteem, improve relationships, and make decisions that reflect their values.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as goals evolve.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for different kinds of work.
