About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 13 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and self-esteem concerns. He also focuses on life purpose and related issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, and isolation. He offers sessions in English and Spanish.
Peter draws from client-centered methods that prioritize the client's experience. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping skills. Existential approaches inform conversations about meaning, values, and what comes next after big changes.
In sessions he listens for the specific problems that make life feel stuck. He helps people notice patterns in relationships, communication, and self-talk. He works on concrete steps people can try between meetings, such as small behavior changes or targeted reflection exercises.
Peter has worked in clinical, school, and community settings. That background includes time supporting people experiencing mood disorders, trauma, and major life transitions. He has experience with immigrant and under-resourced communities and brings that perspective into everyday clinical work.
He practices in Louisiana and asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online process.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Peter often uses client-centered work to prioritize the client's concerns and lived experience. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, with the counselor asking questions and reflecting to help clarify feelings and priorities. This approach suits people who need someone to listen closely and respond to where they are now.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT supports short exercises and practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns. Existential therapy comes into play when clients want to examine meaning, values, and choices after a big life change or loss.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will help clients decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at practical steps the client can try outside meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt the work to shorter or longer sessions depending on what helps the client's day-to-day life.
