About Harvey
Harvey Dedemadiz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and major life changes. He offers straightforward, compassionate support and listens for what matters most to each person. He uses a faith-informed stance when clients want it, while always honoring individual beliefs and values.
Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer thinking, and steps you can try between meetings. Harvey aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Background and approach
His background includes work in corrections, child investigations, community practice, ministry, crisis intervention, and independent practice. Those roles shaped his understanding of how trauma and life stressors affect emotions and behavior. He draws on that variety of experience when assessing what might help next.
In sessions he emphasizes trauma-informed care, helping people process difficult experiences at a pace that fits them. He works with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, parenting stress, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on building resilience and usable tools.
Harvey provides services in English and Spanish and works with clients across Florida and beyond. He describes therapy as a step-by-step process - identifying goals, practicing new responses, and checking progress along the way. The aim is realistic change you can keep using.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Harvey integrates trauma-informed techniques into online work by helping clients notice how past events shape current reactions, naming patterns, and practicing grounding and regulation strategies. This approach is useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and overwhelming stress.He also works with practical coping and behavioral strategies that break problems into small steps. That can include pacing activities to reduce burnout, experimenting with new ways to handle anger or relationship tension, and building routines that support mood and focus.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, journaling-style reflection, and brief skills practice between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum over time.
