About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. He offers bilingual therapy in English and Spanish and brings 13 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
He centers his work on building trust and listening first. Sessions focus on understanding each person’s story and what matters to them. He draws on practical tools to ease distress and help people make clearer choices about next steps.
Peter blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential ideas. That mix helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reflect on meaning and values. He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit the work.
He has worked in clinical, school, and community settings over the years. That experience includes work with people facing life transitions, mood difficulties, and complex social stressors. He often coordinates care with other professionals when that supports a person’s goals.
Outside the office he enjoys hiking, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and cooking. Those activities inform his belief that steady practice and curiosity support growth. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How his approaches fit into online therapy
Peter often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s story guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel heard as they figure out next steps.He also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT provides clear, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is useful, or reduce travel time on a workday. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and reflective conversations to an online setting, and Peter will help decide which tools best match each person’s situation.
