About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She has a long history helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and trauma. Her work combines practical skills with calm support to help people take the next step forward.
Before moving into independent practice she spent many years at a nonprofit serving at-risk populations. That background shaped her hands-on approach and familiarity with difficult life circumstances.
How Sara works
She has particular experience with attachment concerns and trauma-related issues and brings that perspective into each conversation. Sara uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and trauma-focused care to address patterns that cause distress. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect emotions and behavior.
Motivational interviewing helps when making changes feels hard or overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She works with parents who need help with parenting challenges, people coping with loss or chronic illness, and individuals working through anger, isolation, or career stress.
Progress is paced to each person’s needs and life demands. Sara aims to make therapy understandable and doable. She listens for what matters most, helps set small goals, and adjusts the plan as people move forward.
Her style is steady, direct, and compassionate.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Online sessions can use conversations and structured activities to notice patterns and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. It often uses short exercises, homework, and clear steps that fit well into video or messaging formats.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try first. That planning is a shared process and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when writing your thoughts helps. These options make it easier to fit care around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while using the clinical approaches described above.
