About Peter
Peter Mburu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, grief, trauma and anger among other concerns. He also supports people facing issues related to immigration, multicultural adjustment, and men's concerns. Sessions are conducted in English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and Peter accepts international clients.
Peter takes a straightforward, skills-based approach. He uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational interviewing informs conversations about change, especially around substance use.
In practical terms, sessions focus on building coping skills and small, manageable changes. He works with people who are early in their experience of serious symptoms as well as those dealing with long-standing struggles. Treatment conversations include goal setting, practicing new skills, and reviewing what works between appointments.
Peter's background includes work with international students, refugees, and people facing severe medical conditions. He also has seminary training and experience in Christian counseling contexts. That mix informs his ability to discuss cultural and faith-related concerns when relevant.

How his online approach uses ACT, CBT and DBT
Peter draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and actions that feed anger and anxiety. CBT sessions often involve practical exercises and real-life practice to reduce reactivity and improve problem-solving.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These exercises can help someone manage intense feelings and communicate without escalating conflicts.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements those approaches by helping people clarify values and take committed action despite difficult emotions. That can be useful when resentment or avoidance get in the way of what matters most.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate on goals and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust plans over time.
