About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She built her early practice at a nonprofit working with at-risk children and families, and she brings that hands-on background to her current work. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family struggles, and issues like grief, addiction, and parenting challenges.
Sara uses straightforward, practical techniques so people can make steady changes.
Background and approach
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape present relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice thoughts that increase anxiety and try different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find their own reasons to change.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Sara aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where concerns are heard and realistic steps are planned. She explains options plainly and adjusts the work as goals shift.
Her background includes focused work with infants and primary caregivers around bonding and attachment. That experience informs how she thinks about family patterns and parent-child relationships. She also has a history helping people cope with caregiving stress, chronic health issues, and life transitions.
People who choose Sara often want a practical partner who listens and lays out clear steps. She helps clients break down problems into manageable pieces and track small wins along the way.
Approaches that translate to online care
Sara commonly uses attachment-based work to examine how early relationships shape current connections. This helps when relationship patterns, bonding, or parenting concerns feel stuck and people want clearer ways to relate.She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to clarify a person's own goals and strengthen commitment to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and history and then suggest which methods to try. Clients and therapist decide together what to focus on and adjust the plan over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well for people with limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging can serve shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep steady momentum between sessions.
