Getting to know Peta Lawson

Hi there, I'm Peta! Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Peta Lawson, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut, working with clients statewide. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Post University. I work with adolescents and specialize in anxiety, stress, and eating disorders, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Talk Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My therapy approach is based on each client’s needs. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Talk Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, as these modalities build a foundation of shared understanding and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus My style works well for teens and young adults facing life transitions and social pressures, often manifesting as anxiety, depression, stress, and eating disorders. Together, we navigate these periods and build skills to help clients feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook. My communication style My communication is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want clients to feel comfortable sharing anything, and I pride myself on listening without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I became a psychotherapist because I’ve always wanted to help people. Whether as a peer counselor, community volunteer, or trusted friend, I’m naturally drawn to supporting others through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves. My goals for you I work collaboratively with clients to define what they want to accomplish in our sessions, often starting by building trust between us.
