About Peter
Peter Mburu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and substance use concerns. He works with adults facing mood problems, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and career pressures. He also supports clients dealing with immigration issues, multicultural concerns, and questions around identity and self-worth.
He uses straightforward, skills-based work in sessions. That can mean practicing new ways to cope with intense feelings, learning techniques to reduce panic symptoms, or setting small steps toward change when addiction is involved. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on practical tools that can be used day to day.
Peter trained in counseling and has seven years of clinical experience. He has worked in both Michigan and Texas and has supported international students, refugees, and people living with serious medical issues. He also has seminary training and experience offering Christian counseling.
In Texas he holds the LPC credential and has experience as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern in Texas, working with people who have chemical dependence. Much of his recent work has involved young adults facing early onset psychosis and people navigating severe mood or anxiety concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and also in Kikuyu and Swahili when needed. He aims to help each person identify helpful coping skills and take manageable steps toward their goals.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then take action based on personal values; it can help with anxiety and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for reducing panic symptoms and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behaviors.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time. Sessions often mix elements from different approaches so the work matches what the client finds most useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to meet with a therapist who speaks English, Kikuyu, or Swahili without relocating. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to what works in everyday life.
