About Peter

Dr. Peter Dell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. He works with adults on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career matters, depression, coaching, and compassion fatigue.

He draws on several therapeutic styles to help people sort through what feels overwhelming at home. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about the problems you bring. He uses approaches that pay attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior, and he offers tools for handling upsetting thoughts and intense emotions.

In practice he blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work. That means time is given to what you want to change, to the patterns that keep showing up, and to exercises that can be used between meetings. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Peter also uses ideas from attachment-based and dialectical behavior approaches when relationship patterns or emotional regulation are central to a concern. He frames those ideas in everyday language and suggests steps to try at home. Many people bring worries about blended family dynamics, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or commitment and communication problems, and he makes room for those topics.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work pays attention to how past and current relationships shape how someone reacts and feels. It can help when recurring patterns with partners, parents, or close others make daily life harder. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. That can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reflecting emotional experiences in the moment to improve how people understand and express feelings in relationships.

Finding the right approach is often a process. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and situation. That means talking about what feels most helpful, trying techniques in sessions, and adjusting the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session methods before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or reduce travel time. Online work can also let a therapist assign exercises to practice between meetings, and it supports consistent contact when ongoing coaching or help with relationship patterns is needed.
