Therapeutic approaches and online support
Peter Waters offers online therapy that draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and he can also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work, helping with issues like relationship difficulties, grief, and identity concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for managing anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and stress by developing practical coping skills. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting work with emotional regulation, anxiety, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques over time as progress is made.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or distant locations. These options allow regular contact, ongoing support between sessions, and the opportunity to practice new skills in everyday contexts while working with a registered professional who guides the process.
