About Peter
Peter Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He is comfortable talking about ADHD, relationships, parenting strain, grief, and addiction concerns. He presents himself plainly and treats conversations like a real exchange between two people.
He keeps meetings practical and focused. Sessions often include checking current problems, naming unhelpful thoughts, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Peter also uses a client-centered stance that lets the person set the pace. He listens first, then suggests steps that match the client's goals.
When relationship or communication issues come up, he brings in ideas from Imago Relationship Therapy to help partners and individuals practice clearer conversation skills. He has spent much of his career working in independent practice in Michigan and with remote clients. Over three decades he has focused recently on depression, anxiety, and adapting to big life transitions.
Peter aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most. People who choose him usually want a mix of practical tools and honest conversation. He helps people find small, usable shifts in thinking and behavior.
That approach is useful for everyday stresses, long-standing worries, and managing ADHD-related challenges.
Approach-Focused Online Care
Peter uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client, offering a listening stance that helps people clarify goals and decide what to try next. This approach is helpful when someone wants a respectful, steady place to talk through feelings and choices.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact. CBT offers concrete exercises and steps you can practice between sessions and is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what helps the client make real progress toward daily goals.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people keep continuity of care when travel or busy days get in the way.
