About Peter
Peter Godfrey is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with ten years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, depression, and life changes, and includes anger among his areas of focus. He works from the perspective that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to solve problems.
Peter keeps sessions straightforward. He listens to what matters most and helps people set practical goals. Sessions often focus on concrete skills for handling strong feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and getting unstuck when old patterns keep showing up.
His approach draws on therapies that emphasize values, behavior change, and relationships. He uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, and build healthier habits over time. When trauma or grief are present, he balances skill-building with careful attention to how past events shape current reactions.
People come for help with anger, anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career questions. He also works with mood disorders, panic, shame, and issues like abandonment or narcissism that can underlie repeated struggles. Sessions can include coaching-style work for people who want actionable steps.
Peter offers straightforward guidance without jargon. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and suggests experiments to try between meetings. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Peter treats selection of methods as a conversation. He will review your goals and try approaches that fit your needs, adjusting based on what helps most in practice.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try techniques in the settings where problems occur and then discuss what did and did not work in the next session. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to blend skills practice, values work, and problem-solving across meetings.
