About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, and related struggles. Sara works in a direct, straightforward way to help adults cope with everyday pressures at home and in caregiving roles.
Before her current work she spent many years at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families. That background included in-home, school, and community settings and gave her hands-on practice with attachment and bonding issues. She has experience supporting people facing grief, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and the long-term effects of trauma.
Sara uses approaches that include Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods shape how she talks with people, helps them identify patterns, and tests new ways of coping. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small changes that can be practiced between meetings.
Her work also covers caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems. She can help people address feelings of emptiness, codependency, hoarding, and isolation that affect daily life at home.
Sessions are held in English and follow a practical, goal-oriented style. To begin, readers should use the site’s process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. It helps people understand why they react a certain way with partners or caregivers and practices different, more connected responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches practical skills, and uses small experiments to test new behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as work progresses.
The practical upside of online work is making sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Confirm what session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend from a workplace break or between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and attachment work to remote meetings so the focus stays on concrete strategies and real-life practice.
