About Sara

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began her career working in a nonprofit setting serving at-risk children and families and brings that background into her current work. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and the strain of caregiving.

Sara speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy parents and adults.

Background and approach

She uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early bonds shape current relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is wrestling with change or addictive behaviors, and trauma-focused approaches guide work after painful events.

Sara prefers short, clear sessions that focus on what matters most to the client. She will work with a person to set simple, achievable goals and check progress each visit. Conversations are direct but warm, and plans are adapted as needs shift.

Her practice includes issues such as parenting stress, family conflict, abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver strain, hoarding, and isolation. She also supports people facing career changes, anger, and challenges with self-esteem or body image. People who want straightforward guidance and tools often find this approach helpful.

The initial steps are a brief questionnaire and a scheduling choice, after which Sara and the client set a path forward together.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapies translate online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions can use this approach to talk through family roles, caregiving stress, and attachment concerns, and to practice new ways of relating in everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. It also uses small behavioral experiments and skills practice that adapt well to video or phone sessions for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Sara takes a collaborative approach to choosing methods. She will help the client name goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Together they check what works and shift strategies as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow visual connection and guided skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and readers who prefer typing. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit real-life routines.
