About Peter

Peter Harvey is an LPC with three decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, including ADHD-related concerns. He brings a grounded, personable presence to his work and draws on a wide range of therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

His practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy and self-esteem issues, career questions, and concerns related to parenting, blended families, and fatherhood. In sessions he balances professional training with real-world perspective, inviting clients into an honest, collaborative process.

He commonly uses client-centered techniques and cognitive approaches alongside mindfulness, existential reflection, and relationship-focused interventions to help clients clarify values, alter unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping strategies. Peter has worked with individuals, couples, and families in independent practice and community settings, and he accepts international clients who prefer remote formats.

Those seeking a therapist who emphasizes human connection and flexible, evidence-informed care may find his style approachable. His long tenure in the field supports a calm, steady stance when addressing complex issues including bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Therapeutic approaches and online options



Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating an environment where clients feel understood and can explore goals at their own pace. It is useful for people seeking a respectful, collaborative relationship to work through personal concerns and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical skills to alter them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to assess needs, try methods that fit personal preferences and goals, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, enabling continuity of care across schedules and locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions while balancing work, family, or travel, and they allow licensed professionals to tailor interaction styles to what helps each client most.
