About Kevin

Kevin Peterca is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 35 years of practice. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, career challenges, addictions, and other life changes. He aims to listen first, then set clear goals together. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life steps people can use between meetings.

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but adapts his approach to each person. He also draws on mindfulness techniques and solution-focused work to keep sessions action-oriented. For relationship work he uses the Gottman Method to address communication and intimacy issues. Clients can expect a collaborative process where their input shapes the plan.

Kevin’s style is straightforward and warm. He invites clients to bring specific problems and tries to break them into manageable pieces. He often gives tools and simple exercises to practice outside sessions to build momentum. Progress is usually tracked with clear, measurable steps.

His broad experience includes caregiving stress, codependency, coping with natural or human-caused disaster, end-of-life concerns, and men’s issues. He has worked across many settings and draws on that background when helping people find practical solutions. He focuses on what will make daily life easier and more stable.

People who choose Kevin can expect a respectful, goal-oriented partnership that balances empathy with concrete strategies. He encourages questions and verbal feedback so therapy stays relevant to each person’s needs.

How Kevin uses evidence-based approaches online

Kevin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practice tasks.

He also uses the Gottman Method for relationship and intimacy work. This approach focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict, and building practical habits that support healthier interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation shapes the plan and may combine techniques from different approaches based on what the client needs.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. Many people find it simpler to schedule check-ins around work or caregiving responsibilities and to maintain momentum between appointments. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online and in-person options before booking so you know which choices are available.
