About Peter
Peter Mburu is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and grief. He supports clients working through relationship strain, sleep problems, mood concerns, and major life changes. Peter speaks English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and has seven years of counseling experience.
Peter uses straightforward, skills-focused work in sessions. He teaches practical coping tools for managing strong feelings like anger and panic. He also helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that lead to small changes.
Background and approach
His background includes work with adults experiencing serious mood and stress-related difficulties. He has experience helping people with substance use concerns, early episodes of psychosis in young adults, and challenges tied to immigration and multicultural adjustment. He also brings seminary training and experience with Christian counseling to conversations when that matters to a person.
Sessions tend to mix short-term goal work with longer skill-building. People can expect to set clear goals, practice strategies between sessions, and track progress over time. Peter aims to help each person build tools they can use outside therapy.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication preferences. Practical concerns like schedules, language, and format are discussed up front so sessions fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Peter commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety, anger, or low mood going. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match a person's values, which can help with stress, grief, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they will adjust strategies over time, combining skill practice and short-term problem solving when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face to face when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone can be a good option when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. Live chat and messaging fit shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit care into busy lives.
