About Peter
Peter Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. He brings 13 years of experience across clinical, school, and community settings. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on his background to create a respectful, down-to-earth space for people to talk about what’s hard.
He centers his work on building trust and listening carefully to each person's story. His approach mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential ideas, tailoring sessions to what feels most helpful. Sessions focus on concrete steps as well as understanding meaning and choices in life.
Peter has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and relationship concerns. He also addresses issues such as attachment patterns, body image, codependency, communication problems, and life purpose. Much of his work is practical and conversational, with attention to emotions and behavior.
He often collaborates with other healthcare providers when that supports a person’s goals. His clinical style uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice habits, set goals, and try new ways of coping. Peter keeps language plain and sessions focused on doable changes.
Away from work he enjoys hiking, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and cooking. Those interests inform his belief that steady effort and curiosity help people move forward.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person's own goals guide the process. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps people identify goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It often includes practical exercises and simple behavioral experiments to test new ways of reacting to stress, anxiety, or low mood.
Existential ideas help people clarify values, face life choices, and find meaning during transitions like midlife change or loss. Those conversations can make decisions and priorities feel clearer.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit a busy day more readily. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or let people use audio-only options if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Ask about session logistics and frequency when you schedule so the plan fits everyday life.
