About Peter

Dr. Peter Dell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or family struggles. He also supports clients coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. He approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

He uses a mix of practical, conversation-based methods that are shaped to each person. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going and finding small, doable changes. He draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at close relationships, client-centered listening to follow each person's priorities, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Peter combines short-term skills training with deeper work on relationship patterns and emotional responses. That can include learning emotion regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and using Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to address hurts in important relationships. He matches tools to what feels relevant and manageable for each person.

He has worked across many settings over two decades and brings that practical experience into sessions. His approach is collaborative - he asks questions, offers options, and adjusts the plan as needed. He emphasizes clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.

Based in Florida, he offers care in English and accepts international clients. People who choose to work with him begin by describing their main concerns and goals, and then he helps shape a plan that fits their life and priorities.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior. It helps people understand closeness, trust, and fears of abandonment so they can change how they connect with others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and goals. The therapist follows what matters most to the person, offering reflective listening and support while the client leads the pace and focus of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better sleep and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will recommend approaches or combinations that feel like a good fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins after a stressful day. Because the source biography does not specify session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice new skills between meetings and follow up more regularly, which supports steady progress.
