About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began her career at a nonprofit working with at-risk children and families and has focused on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. Sara keeps language simple and direct so parents can understand next steps.
She emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and meets people where they are. Over the years Sara has worked in homes, schools, and community settings.
Background and approach
That hands-on background shaped how she approaches parenting concerns, attachment issues, and trauma. She draws on methods that help people change thoughts and behaviors, strengthen bonds, and manage strong emotions. Sessions include goal-setting, skill practice, and problem-solving tailored to daily life.
Sara also has experience supporting people facing addiction, depression, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and loneliness. She helps people untangle control issues, communication problems, codependency, and the strain of major life changes. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she uses focused work designed for processing those events.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She works at a steady pace and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change. Parents often find her calm and straightforward when addressing behavioral struggles and anger.
Therapy sessions follow each person’s needs and schedule. Sara uses a mix of talking, teaching coping skills, and homework that fits family routines. She supports people as they try new approaches and build stronger day-to-day habits.

How her methods translate to online care
Sara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. This approach breaks problems into small steps and includes practical exercises to use between sessions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and parenting. That work involves talking about patterns, practicing different ways of relating, and building more stable interactions with children or partners.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sara discusses goals and preferences, then chooses or adapts methods that fit the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions can be useful when a video connection would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and communication styles.
