Sara Harvey

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began her career at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families and has continued that focus in community settings. Sara works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting strains, and anger. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her background includes long-term work with children ages 4 to 17 and their caregivers in homes, schools, and community settings. That hands-on experience shaped her approach to attachment and bonding concerns and to trauma-related problems. She also has experience addressing family conflict, relationship issues, and caregiving stress.

Sara uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes that matter in daily life. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at relationships and connection. She also uses cognitive behavior techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and concrete steps. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to their comfort. Sara supports people who want relief from intense emotion, better communication, or steadier coping during life transitions.

People often come for help with parenting, substance concerns, body image, isolation, and chronic illness stress. She also addresses specific issues such as abandonment, hoarding, and forgiveness work. If you think this approach might fit, the therapist can help map next steps and goals with you.

How her approaches guide online care

Sara draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior. This approach helps when connection, bonding, or caregiving relationships are part of the problem. It focuses on patterns between people and on building safer ways of relating.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and practical coping during life changes. Motivational Interviewing can come into play when someone feels stuck about change; it focuses on drawing out personal motivation and small next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises and communication styles to work well at a distance, helping clients practice skills between meetings.
