Peter Godfrey

Peter Godfrey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He brings ten years of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate addictions, trauma, depression, and major life changes. He encourages clients to recognize their strengths and build on what already works for them.

Peter believes the person in the room knows their story best. He uses that perspective to shape therapy goals and practical steps. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs and readiness.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas. He also uses attachment-focused work to look at how relationships and early experiences affect current patterns. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy are offered when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Over a decade of practice has included supporting people with anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship strain, and mood differences such as bipolar disorder. He also addresses concerns like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation. Peter aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on meaningful change.

People who choose Peter can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. He helps set clear goals, practice new skills, and track progress. If you are thinking about starting therapy, he invites you to take the next step and complete the initial matching process to schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Peter commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for life changes and anxiety. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms like depression and panic.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Peter will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. The first sessions are often about understanding the problem and trying a few techniques to see what fits.

Because session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to connect across distances, which is helpful for people who live outside the therapist’s region or who travel frequently. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to work well in remote sessions, using practical exercises and homework to keep progress moving.
