About William

William "Peter" Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, and adoption and foster care concerns. He works with issues like depression, anger, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and career stress. Peter aims to listen and support people as they sort through hard moments and make practical changes.

He earned a Master of Education in clinical and mental health counseling from Texas Tech University. Peter has three years of experience listed here and also reports more than five years working directly with parents, children, and adoption and foster care families in other roles. That background informs how he supports parents and caregivers navigating family changes.

In sessions he centers the person’s goals and perspective. He uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. He also draws on mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to help manage strong emotions and build new habits.

Peter describes counseling as a tool for a more fulfilled life. He aims to be a sounding board, helping people make choices that fit their situation. Expect straightforward conversation, practical steps, and collaborative goal-setting.

People who want to try therapy with him start by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the Start Therapy button. Session details depend on scheduling and location in Texas, so confirm current formats before booking.

How Peter Uses Practical Therapies Online

Peter draws from client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and experience. That approach means the therapist listens first, follows what matters to the client, and helps shape goals together.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and coping with life changes by teaching specific skills and practice tasks.

Dialectical behavior therapy ideas are part of his work too, especially for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT-style skills cover emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful after trauma, during parenting stress, or when addiction issues are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking to know how therapy will be delivered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session timing and setup when you schedule to pick what fits your everyday life.
