About Peter
Peter Mburu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, sleep problems, and mood concerns. He works with individuals dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, and the daily challenges of parenting and career stress. Peter also supports people navigating LGBT issues, immigration-related stress, and multicultural concerns.
He draws on seven years of clinical experience that includes work in Michigan before relocating to Texas five years ago. He has spent recent years supporting young adults experiencing early-onset psychosis and people coping with chemical dependence. His background also includes serving international students, refugees, and people managing serious medical conditions.
In sessions he focuses on building practical coping skills. He uses clear, goal-oriented tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. He blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and skills-focused methods to address symptoms and daily functioning.
Peter also brings seminary training that informs how he listens to values and meaning in people’s lives. He works collaboratively and aims to help each person identify steps they can take between sessions. The approach emphasizes small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
People can expect straightforward conversation, skills practice, and a focus on what matters to them now. Peter communicates in English, Kikuyu, and Swahili.
How these approaches work in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption linked to worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them; it is often used for insomnia, panic, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness with clear skills practice that helps in times of strong emotion.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative - you and the therapist check which strategies help and adjust the plan together.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, choose audio-only conversations to reduce bandwidth, or schedule sessions during a break at work. Ask about current formats when you start so you can plan what will work best.
