About Petra

Petra Morey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Michigan with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and life transitions. Petra aims to create a calm, steady presence in sessions and to help clients find clearer direction and stronger relationships.

Petra uses approaches that help people understand emotions and patterns in close relationships. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and emotional responses, and the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict in partnerships.

Background and approach

She also uses acceptance and mindfulness-based ideas to help people cope with hard feelings and make values-based choices. In sessions she moves at a practical pace. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and what can change.

She helps people notice emotions, try small experiments, and practice clearer ways of talking with partners or loved ones. Homework tends to be simple and doable between meetings. Petra also supports people through divorce, separation, and forgiveness work.

She helps those exploring sexuality, non-monogamous relationship structures, and women’s issues to sort values, set boundaries, and rebuild self-regard. Attachment concerns and communication problems are frequent topics. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Petra works with people who want practical, emotion-focused help for the stresses and relationship challenges in their lives.

How Petra blends relationship work with online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and partners notice and name the emotions that drive interactions. It focuses on attachment needs and how emotional responses shape closeness and distance in relationships. Gottman Method work targets communication patterns and conflict management by teaching concrete skills for listening, repair, and rebuilding trust.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, used alongside these approaches, encourages people to clarify values and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. That approach is helpful for managing anxiety, making life changes, and staying connected to what matters most. Petra aims to match methods to each person’s goals rather than using a single recipe.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Petra will discuss options with clients, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. The plan is shaped by the client’s needs, goals, and comfort with different ways of working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and couples work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
