About Peter
Peter Mburu is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, sleep problems, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
He combines structured, evidence-informed strategies with a practical emphasis on building coping skills so clients can move toward the life they want. With seven years of clinical experience, he has worked across a range of mental health and substance use issues, including mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural or immigration-related struggles.
Mburu draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs.
His background includes past counseling roles in other states and experience supporting people facing chemical dependence, early-onset psychosis in young adults, international student and refugee issues, and the challenges that come with serious medical conditions. He speaks English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and works with clients both in Texas and internationally.
The practice aims to help clients develop concrete skills for coping with change, managing symptoms, and pursuing meaningful goals.
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Peter frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a method that is useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood-related concerns. He also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit people coping with intense emotions or relationship challenges. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he employs to support readiness for change, particularly when addressing addictions or ambivalence about treatment.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting methods as therapy progresses so clients can discover what helps them most.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling and access more flexible. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver skills training, coaching, and ongoing support in ways that fit daily life, helping clients practice strategies between meetings and maintain continuity of care regardless of location.
