About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck by using straightforward, practical conversations. He speaks English and Spanish and brings 13 years of experience to sessions.
Peter centers his work on Existential Therapy alongside client-centered methods. He helps people name what matters to them, face uncertainty, and find meaning when life feels empty or overwhelming. Sessions are down-to-earth and based on the person in front of him rather than a rigid formula.

Peter also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem concerns. That combination helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, try small experiments, and practice calm in daily life. He uses motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels unsure about next steps.
His background includes work in clinical, school, and community settings for over a decade. He has experience with relationship strain, grief, attachment concerns, body image and eating-related issues, codependency, and separation after divorce. That range informs a practical, adaptable approach to different life problems.
In sessions Peter aims for clarity and collaboration. He helps people set realistic goals and chooses techniques that fit their values and routines. His style is warm and direct, focused on helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices.

Online support
Approach-driven care delivered online
Peter often uses Existential Therapy to help people name what matters and face life transitions with clearer values. Existential work focuses on meaning, freedom, and responsibility, and it can help when someone feels empty or stuck.He also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own experience and choices; the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy and happens together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their daily life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels practical and meaningful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins suit live chat, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and needs.
