About Peter
Peter Harvey is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 30 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addictions, grief, trauma, and codependency. He also lists support for issues such as anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and men’s concerns.
Peter brings an accessible, straightforward style to sessions. He presents himself as a real person who has navigated life challenges, alongside his professional experience. He listens closely and uses what fits best for the person in front of him rather than following a single method.
In practice he blends approaches from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, existential thinking, Imago relationship concepts, and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix lets him address immediate skills like coping and boundary-setting as well as longer patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. Conversations move between practical strategies and looking at deeper emotional themes.
People meet to talk through what feels stuck, to develop clearer limits, to manage mood or addictive patterns, or to sort out big life changes. He frames sessions as collaborative - figuring out what helps and adjusting as needed. Peter’s recent focus has emphasized depression, anxiety, and change-related struggles, including concerns that often appear alongside caregiving, blended families, or codependency.
His approach aims to help people build steadier day-to-day habits and clearer ways of relating. He works with a range of struggles and invites straightforward conversation about goals, options, and what a typical session will look like.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions use that same attention to help clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing different responses; online work can include concrete tools and short exercises to try between meetings. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choices, and responsibility in life; it helps when someone is coping with big life changes or questions about purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Peter will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example allowing check-ins during a lunch break, a shorter phone-based check-in when time is limited, or video sessions that avoid travel time. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings and to try practical exercises in everyday settings.
