About Peter
Peter Mburu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and other concerns listed in his profile. He speaks English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and accepts international clients.
He aims to help people build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on clear strategies rather than lengthy theory. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address symptoms and daily problems.
Peter has specific experience supporting people with substance use and early onset psychosis among young adults. He has also worked with international students, refugees, and people managing serious medical conditions. His background includes seminary training and counseling roles before relocating to Texas five years ago.
In sessions he typically helps clients break problems into manageable steps. That can mean learning behavior-based skills, practicing emotional regulation, or clarifying values and goals. He emphasizes concrete tools people can use between meetings.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most and wants to build consistent routines and habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be useful for learning concrete skills to manage strong emotions and improve responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Changes to technique are expected as needs and priorities become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid being on camera when preferred. Licensed professionals often combine skills-based exercises, brief between-session tasks, and stepwise goal setting to make online sessions practical and actionable.
