Approaches Harvey names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work

Harvey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR helps people process traumatic memories so those memories cause less distress in daily life.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when emotions feel overwhelming. DBT gives straightforward skills for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and tolerating crises without making things worse. Harvey talks through these options with each person and together they pick what feels right for the problem at hand and the client’s preferences.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts helps. These choices give flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
