Edi Peterson , LPC

Edi Peterson brings 22 years of clinical experience to a practical, results-oriented style of counseling that emphasizes measurable progress and real-world skills. She draws on a Doctorate in Behavioral Health alongside her degrees and licensure in counseling to integrate evidence-based techniques into individualized treatment plans. Her additional certifications in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and biofeedback inform her work with clients who seek structured tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and physical responses.

Peterson holds licensure in Texas as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), in New York as an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), and in New Jersey as an LPC. That training and licensure support her work across a broad range of concerns, including depressed mood, anxiety, relationship and communication challenges, boundary setting, substance misuse, long-term pain and chronic health issues, and stress. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, and caregiver stress among other areas.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused, partnering with clients to set clear objectives and define measurable steps that increase the likelihood of positive change. Peterson brings compassion for people managing emotional and physical pain and frames the decision to seek help as an important and courageous first step toward a healthier life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Edi Peterson

Edi Peterson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to support clients who are ambivalent about change - it focuses on strengthening personal motivation and commitment to specific goals by exploring values and readiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Edi Peterson works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining methods when appropriate to support progress and sustain improvement.

Online therapy with Edi Peterson is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and continue work on goals from home or another convenient setting.
