Harvey Dedemadiz, LMHC

Harvey Dedemadiz is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting strain. He works with clients on coping with life changes, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He provides services in English and Spanish and practices in Florida while working with clients across the United States.

He uses a faith-informed perspective for those who want it, while honoring each person’s beliefs and values. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady progress. Harvey aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult experiences and learn tools to feel steadier day to day.

His background includes work in corrections, child investigations, community practice, ministry, crisis intervention, and private practice. Those roles shaped his understanding of how trauma, stress, and life events affect emotions and behavior. He brings that real-world experience into clinical conversations.

Harvey describes therapy as a team effort. He helps clients set goals, practice coping strategies, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. The focus is on clear, practical steps rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

With three years of experience as a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, he aims to help people feel heard and move toward meaningful change. His bilingual work supports clients from different cultural backgrounds and helps with communication when Spanish or English is preferred.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for remote work

Harvey integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into sessions and explains them in plain terms. One common approach he uses focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps people process difficult events, reduce overwhelming reactions, and build steady coping routines. Another approach emphasizes practical skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing and thought-management strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then tests methods that fit that person’s needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

For online work, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people meet with a licensed professional from another state or country when logistics allow. Harvey will discuss which approaches and scheduling options best suit a client during the matching and intake steps.
