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 big life changes. Petra works with individuals and couples who want clearer communication and more emotional connection.

Her background combines graduate study in marriage and family therapy with prior degrees in Health and Human Services and Organizational Management.

Background and approach

Petra has nearly two decades working in mental health settings, including extended experience with people who have persistent mental health conditions and various developmental or physical challenges. In sessions she aims for straightforward, practical conversations. She helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of relating.

Petra uses tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify painful emotions and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action. She also draws on the Gottman Method to support couples who want to improve communication and repair trust. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to calm the nervous system and set achievable goals.

Petra explains steps clearly and focuses on skills clients can use between sessions. People who see her can expect collaborative work that balances insight with concrete practice. She pays attention to attachment and intimacy issues, and also supports people through separation, forgiveness work, questions about sexuality, and the challenges of non-monogamous relationships when those topics arise.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Petra commonly uses the Gottman Method to help couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild warmth in the relationship. That approach focuses on concrete skills for managing arguments and increasing positive interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another tool she uses; it helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that lines up with their values.

She also brings elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to work that targets attachment and deep emotional needs. EFT helps people identify core emotions that drive distance or reactivity and then practice new ways of connecting. Choosing which approach to use is a team effort - Petra works collaboratively to find the right mix based on a person or couple's goals, needs, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or between-session support. These options provide flexibility so clients can access care in ways that fit their routine.
