Peter Cosens, LPC

Peter Cosens is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with people who bring stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Peter listens to what brought someone into therapy and helps decide practical next steps. He uses straightforward feedback rather than open-ended, ongoing therapy with no end point. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.

His approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the client, and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or strong feelings are central. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the goals.

Sessions often address specific problems like addiction, codependency, communication issues, coping after loss, or managing caregiver stress. He also works with issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, attachment, control, and complicated grief.

Peter keeps work practical. People leave with steps to practice and ways to track progress. He prefers finite work aimed at measurable change, while also adjusting plans when new issues emerge.
