Harvey was great during all of our sessions. He was always punctual and never too serious. He makes you feel comfortable and open to discuss whatever you'd like with his willingness to listen and provide professional opinions based off of his extensive background. I would absolutely recommend Harvey to anyone who wants or needs someone to talk to, whether it be about serious and deep issues or just wanting to learn more about yourself.
More about Harvey
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I have been coaching people for the past 15 years. My training is based primarily within the Strategic Family Systems school. This experience has been honed through the Tony Robbins-Cloe Madanes Training Center certification program. I have also had extensive experience coaching people within Landmark Worldwide. This all gets combined with my background as an Orthodox Jew and the wisdom that this tradition brings regardless of whether a client is "religious" or not. My main focus is on working with couples who are fighting or communicate in such a way that they come away feeling more distant, lonely, frustrated and eventually resentful. These couples have developed a pattern of interaction. When we work together, I have you bring the fight to me!! I will interrupt your pattern and train you to interact so that what previously drove you apart, will now leave you connected with a feeling of closeness and love. We will work together to create new emotional patterns that have you fulfill your needs in a way that is good for you, good for others in your life and good for society as well.
Let's set up a time to explore what you want to accomplish and how you would like your life to be so you can be back in the driver's seat of living life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very helpful. I was able to make clear progress in my relationships.
Harvey is the best!
Harvey is a great therapist.
He has been great. He acknowledges my areas of strength and is dedicated to helping me improve my areas of weakness
He has helped me with family problems and identity issues, and has guided me to practical solutions for my problems. I have got a lot a value from therapy with him that I don't think I would've been able to attain on my own.
Harvey Pacht was a great therapist. He was a fantastic listener and really made therapy relaxing. I felt that he was my friend rather than a therapist. He gives great tips to help the mind and to make you feel like you again. I am truly greatful to him and would highly highly recommend.
I was nervous to start this process, we began on working on myself and what I wanted in my relationships. In that process I faced some hard conversations and realizations. I couldn’t ask for a better person than Harvey. He has given me so much clarity, time to reflect, and has provided me with lots of tools and exercises that I still practice now. It was truly effortless and he had a knack for making me feel comfortable. I looked forward to all of our sessions, I grew so much and have saw major improvements in my life.
Harvey helped coach me through a very difficult time in my life with grace and understanding. He is exceptional at explaining abstract psychological theories in a way that just make sense and “click” thus making it easier to incorporate into your life. I’m grateful to Harvey, and this betterhelp platform, for making mental health services accessible and affordable. Thank you!
