About Peter
Peter Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 30 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. He is direct and approachable, and he aims to be a real person in the room while offering practical support.
People come to him for relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, addiction-related problems, and questions about purpose or career direction. He draws on methods that fit each person’s situation rather than using one fixed approach.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and practicing small changes that build better days. He emphasizes clear, simple goals and steady progress over time. Peter combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools.
He also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning during transition, and Imago relationship ideas when couples or relationship patterns are involved. This mix helps him tailor plans for mood, anxiety, anger, and relational issues. Over three decades, he has worked with people coping with trauma, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
He also helps with blended family challenges, fatherhood questions, communication problems, and self-worth struggles. His background includes independent practice work and long-term clinical experience in a range of settings. Sessions are offered in English, and he accepts international clients.
Therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started simply requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits.
Approaches that guide online work
Peter uses client-centered therapy to make sessions grounded in what matters most to each person. That approach means listening closely, reflecting what is heard, and helping people shape goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Peter will work with each client to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This happens collaboratively through early sessions and is adjusted as progress and new issues emerge.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a regular face-to-face rhythm. Phone sessions can work when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style conversations, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people maintain continuity and stay engaged while managing work, family, and other commitments.
