About Sara
Sara Harvey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She brings 15 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. Sara focuses on practical help and steady support when life feels overwhelming.
She has a long history working in community settings with at-risk children and families. That background shaped her focus on attachment, bonding, and trauma-related concerns. She also draws on experience addressing relationship problems, communication struggles, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Sara uses clear, goal-oriented conversations to help people spot patterns and try small changes. She leans on methods such as attachment-based approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide sessions. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused therapy are also part of her practice when needed.
Clients can expect an empathetic, respectful tone in sessions. Sara aims to tailor discussions and plans to each person’s needs and daily life. She works to make steps feel manageable, whether someone is coping with loss, addictions, anger, or life transitions.
Her background includes work with issues like abandonment, body image, chronic illness, codependency, hoarding, and isolation. Sara supports parents navigating the strain of raising children and helps people find steadier ways to manage emotions and relationships.

How her approaches translate to online care
Sara uses attachment-based methods to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior; this helps with parenting, bonding, and family stress by focusing on connection and patterns between people. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for short check-ins or when writing out thoughts helps. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
