About Peter

Dr. Peter Dell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, coaching, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions he uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when they suit a person's goals. The tone of his work is practical and conversational; he focuses on clear steps and strategies rather than jargon.

Clients can expect conversations that address patterns in feelings and behavior. He pays attention to how attachment and emotion shape relationships and daily stress. He helps people name difficult feelings and find ways to respond differently to recurring problems.

Dr. Dell works with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, and body image. He addresses both emotional and practical impacts of health conditions including cancer and chronic pain.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and how they show up in relationships. It helps people recognize patterns in emotional reactions and try new ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns and how those patterns influence trust, closeness, and conflict in relationships.

These approaches are used together with client-centered methods that emphasize the person's own goals and pace. Dr. Dell will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination fits best. He discusses options with each person and adapts the focus based on needs and preferences rather than assuming a single method.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have more frequent brief check-ins, or to choose a session type that suits bandwidth or camera preferences. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals can offer online help that aligns with established therapeutic approaches and everyday life demands.
