About Peter

Peter Steele is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts who focuses on helping people navigate worry, low mood, and major life changes. He draws on a few practical therapy approaches to help people find clearer direction and steadier coping skills. He has 15 years of experience working with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship problems including infidelity.

He treats mood and stress-related issues and common life challenges such as parenting strain, sleep problems, addiction, and career uncertainty.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing complex patterns like attachment struggles, codependency, impulsivity, and dissociation. Bipolar disorder, ADHD, and aging-related concerns are part of his background as well. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and respect for the client’s knowledge of their own life.

He helps clients set practical, solution-focused goals and build skills that can be used day to day. The work often centers on clearer boundaries, more meaningful relationships, and decisions that reflect a person’s values. Peter uses a mix of approaches that include existential perspectives, acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and narrative work.

That variety lets him match methods to what a person needs in the moment. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the licensure standards for a Massachusetts LMHC.

Online support

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Existential therapy invites people to look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives, helping with questions about purpose, values, and how to live more authentically. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Client-centered therapy focuses on careful listening and empathy so the person feels understood and can discover their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking how they land, and adjusting based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for a face-to-face feeling and richer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, ongoing contact or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
