About Peter
Peter Godfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience. He works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Peter also helps with anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, and questions about life purpose.
Peter frames clients as experts on their own stories. He focuses on the strengths people already have and helps them apply those strengths to current problems. In sessions he listens, reflects, and helps clients try practical steps that fit their daily life.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed models. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to pay attention to relationships and emotional connection.
Sessions are conversational and action-oriented. Peter helps people clarify what matters to them and identify small changes they can test between meetings. He works with topics such as anger, impulsivity, isolation, and burnout from caregiving or work.
People often come to him feeling stuck after a breakup, a job change, a period of grief, or when years of stress have built up. He supports exploring those pressures and finding clearer next steps, including practical coaching around career and parenting when useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are difficult. It emphasizes noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them and supports moving toward chosen values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thinking and behavior and trying practical experiments to change unhelpful habits. It often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations, which can be useful for work on trust, abandonment, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods as those needs become clearer. That collaborative planning helps decide whether more ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused work is most useful at any point.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if bandwidth is limited. These practical choices help people keep therapy going alongside other responsibilities.
