About Peter

LCSW in North Carolina with ten years' experience, Peter Godfrey focuses on addictions, trauma, depression, and life changes. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship and family stress, and mood disorders. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Peter frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. He prefers practical conversations that identify what’s getting in the way and what small steps could change daily life. Expect straightforward talk about patterns, coping skills, and values-based choices.

He blends evidence-based strategies like CBT and DBT skills with acceptance and values work from ACT. Attachment-based ideas guide discussions about relationship patterns and repeated hurts. Client-centered elements keep sessions focused on the person's experiences and priorities.

Over ten years he has helped people manage addictions, navigate divorce and separation, cope with loss, and address impulsivity and shame. He also supports work on parenting strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. The work often combines symptom-focused techniques with longer-term exploration of values and life purpose.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with depression, anxiety, and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for changing them. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and problems with impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics in relationships and self-view.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Sessions often combine techniques so the plan can change as needs become clearer.

The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins around work, travel, or caregiving. It also supports shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions that do not require being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep progress steady while fitting therapy into everyday life.
