David Peters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oklahoma with 35 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, coping with life changes, executive and professional coaching needs, and compassion fatigue.

He favors an interactive, collaborative therapeutic style that encourages open sharing and active participation. Mindfulness meditation is a regular personal practice for him, and he often invites clients to incorporate mindfulness into their work together when it fits their needs and goals.

In October 2024 he relocated to Chiang Mai, Thailand to continue training in mindfulness, building on many previous visits and meditation practice in Buddhist monasteries and workshop settings.

Mindful and Attachment-Focused Care Online

David Peters integrates several evidence-informed approaches in his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up in current connections - it is often helpful for people working through abandonment, attachment concerns, or relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s perspective and strengths; the therapist provides empathy and support while the client directs the pace and focus, which can be useful for life purpose work, coaching, and men's issues. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple awareness practices and present-moment attention that Peters regularly teaches and models in sessions when appropriate to a client's needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. He works with each person to identify methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity across locations, and access ongoing support whether someone is local or international.
