About William

William "Peter" Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people address stress and anxiety along with related concerns like addiction, depression, anger, and sleep problems. He speaks English and draws on a straightforward, collaborative approach to help clients manage day-to-day struggles. Peter aims to be a calm presence who listens, reflects, and helps people take practical steps forward.

He completed a Master of Education from Texas Tech University focused on clinical and mental health counseling. His background includes work with parents, children, and families connected to adoption and foster care, and he currently works in the field of addiction. That mix of experience shapes how he sees common patterns in relationships, behavior, and mood.

In sessions Peter centers the person in front of him. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He pairs that with client-centered principles, so the client’s goals guide the work rather than a fixed program.

Mindfulness and dialectical skills are also part of his toolkit when emotional regulation or day-to-day coping is needed. He describes counseling as a place to talk through difficulties and to practice small changes that add up over time.

People meet him for help with parenting stress, relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions. He positions himself as a sounding board and guide who supports clients as they test new ways of coping and making decisions.

How his approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s goals. It’s about making space for a person to tell their story and choose which changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds tools for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most relevant and try methods that match their needs and goals. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made or new challenges arise.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists can coach practical skills, guide behavioral experiments between sessions, and use mindfulness practices effectively in remote sessions. Ask about specific session formats when you start your match to make sure they fit your routine.
