Background and approach
He has three years of professional experience as an LPC and additional prior work supporting parents, adoption and foster care situations, and children. More recently he has worked in addiction care while continuing to support common mental health concerns. In sessions he leans on client-centered methods.
That means he listens first, follows the client’s lead, and treats the person as the expert on their life. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress. Peter incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness.
He can also draw on existential ideas to help people find personal meaning during difficult transitions. Overall his style is down-to-earth and practical, focused on problem solving and small changes that add up. People who choose him should expect a conversational, goal-oriented process.
He aims to be a sounding board, offer tools, and support clients as they work toward clearer choices and a more manageable life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
William "Peter" Miller commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so the person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through difficult choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and coping with stress.He also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills for managing intense emotions and tolerating distress. Together these approaches are applied collaboratively - finding what fits is part of the process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what works and what feels right.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or written reflection, and messaging can be used for shorter, flexible exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the format that matches a client's needs.
