Sara Harvey, LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related struggles. Sara aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.

Before moving into independent practice she spent many years at a nonprofit agency serving at-risk children and families. That background shaped how she thinks about attachment, bonding, and early relationships. She also has experience addressing parenting challenges and caregiver stress.

Sara uses practical techniques that help people notice what they do, how they think, and what gets in the way of daily life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates attachment-focused ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional connection.

Sessions are collaborative and geared toward simple, usable skills. Conversations focus on concrete steps people can try between visits. She adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs and life situation.

Sara also brings experience with trauma-focused methods and motivational interviewing when helping people move through difficult changes. Her approach balances gentle support with clear, actionable strategies. She speaks English and works with adults from her Michigan practice.

How these approaches work online

Sara commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practice different ways of reacting; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build stronger emotional connections with others.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Sara will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands and then recommend a mix of approaches. The plan can change as progress is made so clients stay involved in shaping their care.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are good for longer, interactive sessions and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing support, or when people prefer typed communication. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
