About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began in nonprofit work supporting at-risk children and their caregivers and has continued helping people facing stress, grief, and relationship strain.
She works in straightforward, practical ways. Conversations focus on what feels hardest now and on small changes that make daily life easier. She pays attention to attachment and bonding concerns, and she brings experience with trauma and abuse into the work.
Sara uses approaches such as attachment-based methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try alternatives. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and unsure about change. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect present life.
She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Parents and caregivers are supported in managing the stresses of raising children and juggling caregiving duties.
She also helps with issues like codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness impact, and feelings of isolation. The focus is on clear steps you can take between sessions. If you want hands-on help with daily challenges, Sara works to create a practical path forward.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at connection and how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand bonding, attachment issues, and how those patterns affect present relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people test beliefs and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify goals and strengthen motivation when someone feels uncertain about change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and will shape methods together. That cooperative process helps decide whether attachment work, CBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused techniques, or a mix will fit best.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a weekday, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online sessions can make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to apply strategies learned in therapy to everyday routines.
