About Sara
Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, career shifts, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes.
Sara focuses on helping people build clearer coping strategies and stronger self-understanding. She often addresses sleeping and eating issues, grief, low self-esteem, anger, and ADHD-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment issues, blended family strains, and separation or divorce.
Her sessions use practical, goal-oriented methods. Sara integrates Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s perspective and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and depression.
She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice stress and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing appears when someone is weighing change or needs support building internal motivation. These approaches are chosen to match what the person wants to address in real time.
People working through early adulthood challenges such as leaving home, first jobs, study pressure, and identity questions will find relevant experience here. Sara helps people talk through relationship patterns, career decisions, and the ripple effects of parenting and family history.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward, collaborative work. Clients can expect clear tools, short-term goals when helpful, and ongoing review of progress.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach involve the therapist following the client's lead, clarifying concerns, and supporting the client's own priorities and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include shared work on skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and clear plans to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment noticing and simple practices to reduce reactivity. In remote sessions, this can mean short guided exercises, breath work, and homework that fits into a busy schedule.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That shared planning is part of the early sessions and continues as goals evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work, studies, and travel, reduce commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt tools and materials so sessions remain practical and focused even when not in person.
