About Peter
Peter Harvey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who brings 30 years of clinical experience to his practice.
Background and approach
He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fatherhood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life transitions. Clients may also seek his support for career questions, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Peter favors an adaptive, person-focused style that blends evidence-informed methods with attention to each client's unique situation. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and existential ideas, Imago relationship techniques, and mindfulness approaches to tailor care to what seems most helpful.
His practice experience spans individual, couples, and family work, and he emphasizes building a genuine therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and collaboration. Over three decades of work have included helping people navigate significant life changes, manage mood and anxiety symptoms, and repair important relationships.
Peter accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering multiple formats so people can engage in a way that fits their schedule and needs.
Approach-driven online therapy for life and relationship challenges
Peter often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress, while client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and developing a trusting therapeutic relationship to support personal growth.He also incorporates existential themes when relevant, helping clients explore values, meaning, and choices during times of transition or uncertainty. These approaches are presented in straightforward language and applied with attention to each person's concerns, whether they seek help for relationships, parenting, grief, or career direction. The therapist collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit best for their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy with Peter is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life changes, and allow licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that suit their routines and communication styles.
