Sara Harvey, LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings 15 years of experience to her work and focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, loss, and major life shifts. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people find steadier footing.

Before private practice she spent many years at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families. That work included home, school, and community visits with children aged 4 to 17 and support for their caregivers. That background shaped her emphasis on attachment, bonding, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Sara draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapy. She adapts sessions to each person, aiming for clear goals and useful strategies that fit day-to-day life. Expect a supportive, respectful tone and concrete ways to cope with intense feelings.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, grief, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues like abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and isolation. Sara helps people talk through relationship and family problems and supports those managing big transitions.

People who reach out can expect collaboration on a plan that matches their needs. Sara emphasizes steady, realistic steps rather than quick fixes. She invites anyone ready to begin to take the next step toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Sara uses attachment-based work to strengthen trust and connection in relationships, focusing on patterns that form early and shape adult responses. This approach can help with bonding concerns, abandonment issues, and family conflict.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. CBT offers step-by-step tools for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and will adjust methods over time. That makes the process collaborative and practical rather than fixed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats require a camera and stronger bandwidth while others need only audio, so confirming the available formats helps find what will work best for your schedule and needs.
