About William
William "Peter" Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of post-licensure experience. He works with adults on concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and grief. He also supports people dealing with parenting strains, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and career or life changes.
Peter uses a straightforward, practical style in sessions. He leans on cognitive behavioral techniques while keeping the person central to the work. That means he listens to how a person understands their situation, and then offers focused tools to change patterns that cause distress. He views the client as the expert on their life and acts as a sounding board and guide.
In practice he blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods. Sessions can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new coping skills, and practicing mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. He also draws from dialectical behavior strategies when strong emotions, such as anger, are getting in the way of daily life.
His background includes a Master of Education in clinical and mental health counseling from Texas Tech University and direct work with parents, children, and adoption and foster care families. More recently he has been working in the field of addiction while continuing to address mood and trauma-related concerns.
People who contact him should expect clear explanations of techniques and practical steps to try between meetings. He emphasizes collaboration and steady problem-solving over labels and one-size-fits-all answers.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Peter commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in the work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person’s goals shape each session.He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when intense emotions are present. DBT techniques teach practical skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for repeated anger or reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on skill-building, thought work, or reflective conversation.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for focused check-ins during a break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can suit quieter check-ins or shorter problem-focused visits. Ask about available formats when scheduling to match sessions with practical needs.
