Peter Mburu, LPC

Peter Mburu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings seven years of clinical experience to his work with adults and young adults. Before relocating to Texas five years ago he served as an LPC in Michigan, and over the past three years he has focused on supporting young people experiencing early onset psychosis for the first time in their lives. He has substantial experience working with individuals facing mental illness, chemical dependence, and severe medical conditions, and he has provided care to international students, refugees, and those seeking faith-informed support after seminary training.

Peter aims to help clients build practical coping skills that support daily functioning and long-term growth, tailoring interventions to each person s goals and life circumstances. He uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing among other methods to address issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship concerns, and sleep difficulties. He offers services in English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and is available to work with clients both in Texas and internationally. Peter takes a collaborative, goal-oriented approach to help individuals move toward greater stability and improved quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Peter Mburu

Peter commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood disorders. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he uses to support people who are ambivalent about change, particularly in work around addictions and substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peter works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors methods so treatment fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Clients are involved in choosing strategies and evaluating progress along the way.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to receive consistent support without needing to travel. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and help maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
