About Peter
Peter Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and major life changes. He writes and speaks plainly, and aims to be a steady, straightforward presence for those feeling overwhelmed.

He brings a down-to-earth style into sessions and describes himself as a real person who has faced life challenges.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps clients pick practical ways forward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next week or next month. Peter draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify values and meaning when life feels uncertain.
He also uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person’s pace and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness and relational approaches are added when they suit the situation. Over three decades he has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, family and relationship tensions, and big transitions.
He pays attention to both feelings and day-to-day habits, aiming to help people rebuild routines and strengthen connections. Peter practices from Michigan and offers services to English speakers, including those outside the United States. He aims to help clients find clearer direction, better coping, and more satisfying relationships through practical, compassionate work.

Online support
How Peter’s approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people name what matters most when life feels uncertain or empty. Online sessions using this approach focus on questions about purpose, choices, and what gives life meaning, which can help with grief, major change, and questions about direction.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience. The therapist follows the client’s pace, listens closely, and reflects what’s happening so clients feel understood and can discover their own solutions. This tends to help people working through relationship strain, self-esteem, and parenting stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used in short, practical steps, targets thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. Online CBT sessions often include homework and simple exercises to practice between meetings to create noticeable shifts in daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the work together.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from Michigan. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, evenings, or travel.
