More about me

Years in Practice: 5 State: Virginia

My name is Michael Peterson, and I have been working in the field of Social Work for about 10 years. I I am licensed in Illinois and have done counseling for about three years. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have held a variety of different types of social work jobs (case worker, crisis clinician, therapist, and more), in a variety of different environments, which I feel gives me a deep, multifaceted approach to counseling. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

Michael's the best and is one of the only therapists I've ever felt heard by. He'll meet you where you are and is there for you.

Michael is great. I can't express enough how grateful I am for his guidance and support. From the very first session, I immediately felt welcomed and understood. He has a genuine warmth and kindness that immediately puts me at ease, creating a safe space where I can truly be myself without fear of judgment. His empathetic approach has allowed me to open up in ways I never thought possible. I'm so lucky to have found him.

We met once, he is a good person.

I began working with Michael at a pivotal low point in my adult life. Being able to speak openly with someone with his expertise and experience has helped me immensely to take better care of myself, which has helped me to shift the trajectory of my entire life. I can't recommend working with Michael enough.

Michael has been great, he never makes me feel ashamed for feeling the way I feel.

One of the nicest guys I've ever talked to
