About Peter

Peter Cosens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. He encourages people to reach out when life feels overwhelming and listens first to understand what matters most to them. He favors a direct but compassionate style.

He will listen, point out patterns that get in the way, and work with clients to set practical goals.

Background and approach

He does not believe in open-ended therapy without objectives and aims to help people make steady progress. Peter combines several approaches in sessions. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions beneath relationship struggles, Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's perspective central, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit a person's needs. Sessions typically focus on clear, real-world steps people can try between meetings. He helps clients build coping skills for life changes, manage addictive behaviors, and improve communication and self-worth.

Work can include looking at family of origin patterns, attachment and abandonment issues, or caregiver stress. With 13 years of experience, Peter aims for honest feedback and practical plans. He treats a wide range of concerns while keeping sessions focused on measurable change and personal priorities.

Online support

Approach and online care that fit your life

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with core emotions that drive their reactions in relationships. It is useful when strong feelings, hurt, or distance make it hard to connect with others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and pace, giving people space to lead the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is often used to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is working. This lets clients shape treatment so it matches their needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates and ongoing encouragement. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
