About Peter
Peter Harvey, LPC, helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship strain. He talks plainly and listens closely so people can name what is hard. He draws on three decades of counseling experience in Michigan to guide practical next steps.
His style is straightforward and warm. He treats sessions as conversations where the person sets the priorities. He leans on Client-Centered methods to understand what matters most and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to test and change unhelpful thinking and habits.
Background and approach
Peter also uses elements of Imago relationship work and mindfulness when relationships or intense emotions are central. That means he helps people notice patterns, slow down reactive responses, and practice different ways of relating. He explains tools in simple terms and practices them together in session.
People come to him for help with parenting strain, family conflict, career transitions, addiction concerns, and identity issues such as LGBT challenges. He also supports those facing longer-term mood concerns like depression or bipolar disorder, and people coping with life purpose and self-esteem questions. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can try between meetings.
He invites open, honest talk about setbacks and progress. The aim is steady forward movement so everyday life feels more manageable and relationships become less fraught.

Approaches for emotions and relationships online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens with curiosity, reflects what he hears, and helps people clarify what they want to change. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort values, identity, or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood. Sessions include checking automatic thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new habits between meetings. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, anger management, and depression because it emphasizes concrete skills and measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for full conversations and practicing interactions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
