About Kevin
Kevin Peterca is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, career concerns, depression, and addictions. He brings 35 years of experience to therapy and focuses on clear, goal-focused work. People meet him and talk through what matters most right now. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first conversation.
Kevin prefers short-term, goal-directed counseling that focuses on practical steps. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, adapting it to each person’s situation. He invites client input and shapes the process around personal goals and preferences.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems going and then works with clients to try new ways of responding. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable steps between meetings. When relationships are involved, he uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and connection.
Kevin has supported people through caregiving stress, codependency, grief, and life changes. He also works with issues like anger, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and substance use. He emphasizes practical skills you can use right away to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
His approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. He encourages questions and checks in about progress as therapy moves forward. If you want straightforward help with panic, anxiety, or related concerns, he offers an experienced, steady presence to guide the work.
Approaches that guide online work
Kevin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to calm the body and notice thoughts without getting swept away, which can help with stress and mood concerns.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals between meetings. That helps people track progress and build momentum with practical steps rather than long discussions alone.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From that conversation the two of you decide which methods to try and adjust them as you go.
