About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began her career at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families and continues to focus on practical, day-to-day help for people facing anxiety, stress, loss, and relationship strain.
She works with children and adolescents and also supports parents and caregivers dealing with attachment, bonding, and parenting challenges. Sara draws on approaches that address trauma, behavior, and motivation to help people make steady changes. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a straightforward style in sessions.
In her clinical work Sara uses methods that help people understand patterns in relationships and in their thinking. She also brings focused trauma work into therapy when past events are affecting current life. Sessions aim to map out clear steps and doable goals rather than long lists of theory.
Sara has experience helping with grief, addictions, anger, caregiver stress, chronic illness concerns, hoarding, and coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disasters. She also supports people navigating control issues, loneliness, and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. People who want direct guidance, clear next steps, and steady support may find her style helpful.
How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns people repeat with close others. It helps identify ways early bonds shape reactions and offers new tools for healthier connection and trust building.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses short exercises and practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the ways past traumatic events continue to affect daily life and aims to reduce their hold through structured, paced work tailored to the person’s needs.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit the person’s goals, history, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a familiar location. It can also make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
