About Sara
Sara Harvey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and the strain that comes with parenting and life changes. Sara aims to make the first step toward getting help feel manageable and supportive.
Her background includes long-term work in community mental health, providing care in homes, schools, and neighborhood settings.
Background and approach
That experience shaped a straightforward, down-to-earth approach that values respect and sensitivity. She listens for what matters most and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sara uses methods that connect feelings, behavior, and relationships.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Trauma-focused work addresses difficult memories and the ways they show up now.
In session she moves at a practical pace. She helps people set small, clear goals and practices skills between meetings. Sessions can include talking, problem-solving, and simple tools to handle anxiety, anger, or overwhelming memories.
People come to her for help with parenting stress, relationship difficulties, career transitions, codependency, chronic illness coping, and loneliness. She also supports those facing forgiveness work, hoarding concerns, or caregiver burnout. Sara keeps language direct and plans concrete so progress feels visible.
How her approaches fit online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions; in online sessions this can help people understand relationship patterns and improve connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms, and it often uses simple exercises that translate well to video or chat.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust plans, and choose the combination that fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations stay close to face-to-face while fitting into work or family schedules. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer visits. These options make it easier to keep momentum and to use therapy tools where they matter most.
