About Sara
Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, career changes, and grief. Sara aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people who need clear, usable tools.
Sara uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns that get in the way. She blends client-centered and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness and solution-focused work are used when the goal is clearer coping skills or quick steps forward.
How Sara works
In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps set realistic, short-term goals. People often work on improving sleep, eating habits, self-esteem, or managing ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses relationship and communication problems and the strains that come with blended families, adoption, or separation.
Sara draws on ten years of experience to offer practical strategies rather than long lectures. She uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change but feel stuck or unsure how to begin. The emphasis is on building resilience and everyday routines that fit real life.
Therapy with Sara moves at a pace the client chooses. She supports people through career transitions, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and feelings of emptiness. Her goal is to help each person leave sessions with at least one clear step to try before the next meeting.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Sara uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the center of each session. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people set goals that feel meaningful to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to test small changes that can reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from different locations within Michigan, and choose formats that match their comfort and practical needs.
