About Peter

Peter Godfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people move through addiction, trauma, depression, and major life changes. He encourages people to recognize their existing strengths and to take the small steps that add up to real change.

Peter emphasizes straightforward conversations and clear goals. Sessions tend to focus on the problems that feel most urgent, like anxiety, stress, or trouble with relationships and career direction. He uses tools from several approaches to help people manage symptoms and build new routines.

He combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening. That mix supports people who are dealing with mood struggles, panic, or the fallout from trauma. He also draws on Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when relationships and emotion regulation are central concerns.

Peter frames therapy as a collaborative effort. He asks questions, offers feedback, and helps set achievable steps so progress is easier to notice. Many people come for help with parenting strain, grief, or feeling stuck in their career path.

He works from a strengths-based point of view, reminding clients they know their story best. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make the next steps clear and manageable.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on choosing actions that match values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about career and life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical strategies for reducing panic, improving mood, and changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Peter treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and day-to-day needs. He listens to what matters most and adapts tools to your situation rather than prescribing a rigid plan.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time around work or family demands. Many people find that the mix of focused skill practice and regular scheduling helps keep momentum between sessions.
