About Peter
Peter Mittiga is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, grieving, or coping with major life changes. He works with concerns like trauma, relationship strain, mood disorders, and workplace problems.
Peter brings 12 years of experience in mental health to each session. He uses a relaxed, welcoming manner so people can feel more at ease talking about hard things.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on the person’s goals and what matters most to them. His work draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, looks at how thoughts and behaviors shape mood and helps build new coping skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating emotions and handling stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is also part of his toolkit for addressing trauma memories. Peter emphasizes collaboration.
He listens first, then helps plan steps that fit the client’s life and priorities. He aims for clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon-filled sessions. People often seek him out for issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, men’s issues, postpartum mood changes, and financial stress.
He also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and career transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged around each person’s schedule. Peter focuses on steady progress and practical changes you can use day to day.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Peter uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions. EMDR is part of his approach for addressing distressing memories and trauma symptoms when a client and therapist agree it is appropriate.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He listens to your concerns and goals, then discusses which methods fit your needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with regular check-ins to see progress and next steps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is low, and chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact between sessions.
