About William
William "Peter" Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of post-qualification experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues such as sleep and eating difficulties.
Peter emphasizes a client-centered way of working. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and uses counseling to help people make practical changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps the client can try between meetings.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness tools are also part of his approach when they fit a client's needs. Peter describes his role as a sounding board who helps people name what matters and notice small changes.
His background includes education in clinical and mental health counseling from Texas Tech University and practical work with parents, children, and adoption and foster care families. More recently he has been working in addiction services while continuing to address a wide range of mental health concerns.
People who come for help can expect straightforward conversations, skill-building, and an emphasis on what they can try in daily life. If you want to discuss parenting strain, family stress, or personal recovery goals, Peter works to help clients clarify next steps and practical coping options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Peter often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and focuses on steps a person can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change patterns that lead to conflict.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness. DBT skills can help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance, while mindfulness techniques support noticing patterns without immediate reaction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will work with you to figure out which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides which skills and exercises are introduced and how sessions are paced.
