Petra Morey, LMFT

Petra Morey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Michigan. She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people move toward greater calm, connection, and clarity. Petra aims to build a working relationship where clients can make practical changes that fit their lives.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, anger, and big life transitions. Petra also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, communication problems, separation or divorce, and midlife shifts. Her practice includes work around sexuality, self-love, forgiveness, and non-monogamous relationships when people bring those topics to therapy.

Petra uses approaches that emphasize values, emotion, and practical steps. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and act on it. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform her work with partners on repair and improved communication.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Petra encourages mindful practices and solution-focused techniques to build new habits and reduce reactivity. She balances compassionate listening with direct feedback so people can see progress.

People who prefer straightforward, collaborative work may find her style a good fit. Petra asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the next right step. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them, even when hard feelings show up. It focuses on action tied to what matters most rather than getting stuck on thoughts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting patterns of emotion in relationships to improve connection and safety between partners. The Gottman Method offers concrete communication and repair strategies couples can practice between sessions to reduce conflict and increase understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients can expect the therapist to explain options and work together to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins, and let couples practice skills from their usual routines. It also lets therapists assign brief exercises or mindfulness practices to use between meetings, which helps people test new ways of relating and managing stress.
