About Peter
LMHC Peter Mittiga has 12 years of experience and practices in New York. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, and related concerns such as grief, self-esteem, work problems, and compassion fatigue.
Peter works in a direct, person-centered way. He emphasizes the client's perspective and preferences when setting goals. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to skills you can try between meetings.
His approach draws on client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). He also has experience using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and solution-focused techniques when they fit the situation. Those methods inform how he helps people manage mood, process difficult memories, and build coping skills.
Peter has helped people deal with abandonment and attachment issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and men’s issues. He also addresses money and workplace stress, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress when those concerns are present.
Sessions are designed to be practical and straightforward. He works with clients to prioritize what matters most and to practice new approaches between meetings. If you want to try a mix of skills work, focused problem solving, and memory-processing methods, he can explain how those options might fit your concerns.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the client's needs and following their goals. In an online setting this means sessions start with what matters most to the client and adapt to how the person prefers to work.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT commonly involves homework, thought records, and problem-solving between sessions to build skills for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught and practiced in remote sessions and reinforced with brief exercises between meetings to manage intense moods and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will discuss which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan collaboratively as therapy progresses.
