More about Peter

  • LMHC

My name is Peter Steele and I am a licensed therapist in Massachusetts. My clinical experience includes working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder and complex trauma, relational challenges (including infidelity), and grief and loss.

My approach to therapy is that you are the expert of your own life and experience. I believe that an interpersonal, collaborative approach, with solution-focused goals is very often an effective way to for me to provide you with therapeutic support. Through this approach, I look forward to working together with you so that you may feel fulfilled in your life through maintainable change, effective boundaries, meaningful relationships, and your own advocacy of yourself, according to your values and goals.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Pete is awesome. Easy to talk to and helps you understand things that you might normally not. Gives you perspective in a way that makes sense. I am very happy that I matched with Pete.

Reviewed April 2024

Peter is a really good therapist. He is quiet but he listens to everything you say and always has a good response to my problems.

Reviewed March 2024

I think Peter cares about the topics and applies thinking topics within those topics. A brain dump turns into an identifier of some sort. Peter has a consideration to hear out the person and I appreciate that.

Reviewed March 2024

If you find talking things out loud & having someone to listen through brain dumps is a helpful strategy for your therapy, I believe Peter is a solid therapist to help support. In my therapy, I look for someone who I feel acknowledged from and who can pick out pieces of information that can help guide me. Peter does a great job at active listening and providing space for myself to figure things out.

Reviewed February 2024

Pete is amazing! It has been great working with him. He is insightful and a great sparring partner. He is able to strike a balance in pushing you and yet being kind and gentle. He always has the well being of the client as a priority.

Reviewed January 2024

Peter is attentive, thoughtful and genuine. I appreciate the time I spend speaking with him and always end our session feeling a little better.

Reviewed November 2023

Dr Pete is very insightful and kind. He will give you homework if you ask him to. He is not afraid to ask the hard hitting questions to keep you accountable.

Reviewed September 2023

Pete is a patient listener with an approachable yet serious demeanor. He asks penetrating questions and gives constructive feedback, sometimes calling out things he's hearing that I'm not aware I've been saying. Having Pete as a sounding board during a seriously rocky time (divorce, new relationship) has helped me process raw emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Feeling grateful.

Reviewed August 2023

Pete has been of much help and continues to be. He listens well, and truly make me feel worthy, appreciated, and cared for. He asks intriguing questions and puts in a lot of work to understand me and think of what to say and address. Thanks Pete - it's a pleasure to have you alongside me during difficult times :)

Pete has been a remarkable therapist to work with. The progress we have achieved in the past four months has been startling. His understanding of my challenges and his ability to help me process them have been noteworthy especially considering our different cultural backgrounds and the intensity of the issues. He is able to foster a safe and trustworthy space. Pete is a true professional with in-depth knowledge and a straightforward yet compassionate and sensitive approach. I highly recommend him.
