About Peter
Peter Steele is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and relational challenges like infidelity. He also helps with grief, addiction, anger, sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD, and other life changes.
Peter treats therapy as a collaborative process. He starts by listening to a person’s story and priorities. From there he works toward solution-focused goals that are practical and maintainable. Sessions emphasize clear steps like building boundaries, strengthening relationships, and aligning actions with stated values.
He uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors with cognitive behavioral techniques. It can mean focusing on values and committed action through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It can also include client-centered work that centers the person’s own experience and narrative methods that help people rewrite the story they tell about themselves.
Peter aims to help people bring manageable change into daily life. He talks through concrete skills for coping with anger, stress, or impulsivity. He also supports work on deeper relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and issues that come from trauma or loss.
People find the meetings straightforward and action oriented. The emphasis is on small, reliable changes that fit into everyday routines. He invites clients to set goals and measure progress so therapy stays focused and practical.
How sessions work
How Peter applies major approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and then taking committed action toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, anger, life transitions, and patterns that keep a person stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and uses reflective listening to help people make sense of their experience and decide on next steps.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Peter will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying skill-based CBT tools first or focusing on values and committed action with ACT. He checks in and adapts the plan based on what is helping.
