About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. Sara also works with compassion fatigue and a wide range of related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness.
Before moving into independent practice, Sara spent many years at a nonprofit serving people facing complex needs. That work involved direct, practical help in community settings and developed her focus on attachment and trauma-related issues. She has documented experience using trauma-focused methods alongside cognitive approaches to manage symptoms and restore day-to-day functioning.
In sessions she uses clear, concrete tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change but feel stuck.
Sara’s approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build steady coping skills. She often helps people handle relationship conflict, grief, work stress, and the fallout of past trauma. She also supports those dealing with caregiver roles, chronic health problems, or struggles with control and codependency.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversations and practical steps to try between sessions. To get started clients use an online matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Sara often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT is about noticing thought patterns and testing different reactions to reduce anxiety and unhelpful behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events and teaches skills to manage overwhelming memories and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She reviews your history, current concerns, and goals with you, and then recommends methods to try together. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when they have limited time, while others plan fuller sessions to work through bigger issues. The therapist and client can adjust pacing, homework, and focus to match daily life and goals.
