About Peter
Peter Simon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 18 years of experience helping adults and couples address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. He works with people who feel stuck and want practical ways to change habits and feel better. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and aim to produce useful skills and routines.
Simon begins by listening and clarifying the specific problem the person brings. He then partners with them to set short-term goals and pick workable practices. Many clients move through a relatively brief course of care, often around six to eight sessions, though longer work is possible when appropriate.
His background includes a Master of Arts in Psychology from Chapman University, earned in 2008. He lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques among his approaches and notes ongoing study in mindfulness meditation with senior teachers. These influences shape his use of practical tools rather than abstract theory.
Typical concerns he focuses on include mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. He also addresses forgiveness and grief when those topics are part of a client's story.
Sessions emphasize active listening, problem solving, and building habits that fit daily life. Peter frames therapy as collaborative work where the client’s goals guide the plan. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Peter lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mindfulness influences in his practice. Cognitive behavior approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors; this helps with anxiety, mood problems, and low motivation. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, concrete steps toward a client’s stated goals and can speed progress when someone wants short-term change.Mindfulness-based practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve mood regulation. These are often used alongside other techniques when clients report stress, trauma-related symptoms, or compassion fatigue. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try and adjust them over time based on how they are working.
Practical benefits of doing this work remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break or maintain continuity when schedules change. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered and how to schedule.
