About Kevin
Kevin Peterca is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 35 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, career concerns, depression, addictions, and guilt and shame. He also helps with parenting strain, communication problems, coping with life changes, and issues tied to caregiving and end-of-life situations.
He typically offers short-term, goal-directed counseling and invites clients to help shape each session. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than vague promises. Conversations are direct and collaborative, with attention to what clients want to accomplish.
Kevin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and he adapts his methods to fit each person. He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work and Mindfulness strategies to help people notice and steady strong emotions. Solution-Focused techniques guide conversations toward immediate, manageable changes.
In practice he emphasizes specific goals and measurable progress. People who come with relationship strain or recurring self-blame can expect to talk through patterns and try small experiments between sessions. He asks for client input on methods and timelines so the work stays practical.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Kevin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change how someone feels, which can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on learning to notice emotions and bodily reactions so they feel less overwhelming and easier to work with.He also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are central. That approach focuses on communication patterns, repairing conflict, and building clearer interaction habits between partners. Together these methods give concrete skills and short steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then try methods that match those factors. Adjustments are made as needed so the work aligns with the client's pace and needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins during a workday, or avoid travel. Talk with the therapist about timing, session length, and any practical needs so appointments can fit your routine.
