Sara Harvey, LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her work at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families and has continued helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and trauma. She focuses on practical, day-to-day changes that make life feel more manageable for parents and caregivers.

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 a straightforward style: listening first, then building simple strategies together. She emphasizes attachment and bonding issues, parenting concerns, and responses to loss or overwhelming life events.

Sara uses approaches that address thoughts, everyday habits, and emotional reactions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Motivational Interviewing is used to support readiness for change and to strengthen personal goals.

Her trauma-related work grew from years helping children and families after abuse and other difficult experiences. That work informs how she supports people coping with grief, addiction, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Conversations are paced to fit each person's comfort and needs.

She aims to make therapy clear and actionable. Sessions focus on what people can try between meetings, whether that means small habit changes, communication practice, or steps toward healthier boundaries. The goal is to build coping skills that last.

How these approaches guide online work

Sara frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape online conversations. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to break negative cycles. Attachment-informed work focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, useful for parenting and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs, then suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust direction over time based on what feels most helpful and practical.

Confirm the session formats available before booking to know how remote sessions are arranged. Online visits can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from home or work when schedules are tight. They can also support shorter follow-ups or more frequent brief touchpoints to practice skills between meetings.
