Peter Mburu

Peter Mburu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and depression. He speaks English, Kikuyu, and Swahili and works with adults on a range of life challenges. He focuses on practical skills that people can use between sessions to handle strong emotions and difficult situations.

He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. He also uses dialectical behavior methods to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is wrestling with substance use or feeling stuck about making changes.

Peter has seven years of counseling experience and has worked with adults facing mood disorders, trauma, and early psychosis. He has supported people dealing with grief, immigration stress, multicultural concerns, and work-related burnout. He also brings experience assisting those with relationship strains, parenting pressures, and career transitions.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused. Expect clear skill-building, gentle reality testing, and collaborative planning for next steps. The work often includes short exercises, homework between meetings, and progress checks over time.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows based on the therapist's availability and the subscription model used for sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. It is often useful for anger, depression, and stress when someone wants practical ways to act in line with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety and anger going. It usually involves simple exercises and practice between sessions to change how people respond to triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using ACT tools first, adding CBT skills, or blending techniques over time based on what helps most.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life because sessions can be scheduled around work, study, or caregiving. Some formats are better for short check-ins and phone-friendly conversations, while others allow screen-based worksheets or live skill coaching. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and what style of session would help you make steady progress.
