Sara Harvey , LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She began her career at a nonprofit agency supporting at-risk children and families, and she brings that hands-on background to her current work. Sara focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She aims to create clear, compassionate conversations that help people take practical next steps.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. Sessions are designed to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen attachment when that is part of the concern. She draws on therapies that emphasize how past relationships shape today's feelings and behaviors, and on techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and reactions.

Sara has particular experience with parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, isolation, and hoarding. Her background includes work focused on early attachment and trauma-informed care.

Conversations with Sara tend to be practical and paced by the client's needs. She listens for what's working and what isn't, then helps set small, achievable goals. People who prefer direct guidance blended with empathy often find this style useful.

Sessions can include skill practice, reflective questions, and behavioral experiments to test new ways of relating and coping. The plan is adjusted as progress is made, and Sara helps people track changes so they can see what’s different over time.

Approaches that translate to online support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In a few clear conversations, this approach helps people notice connection styles and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. It uses short exercises and practical homework to test different reactions and reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, prior experience, and what feels most comfortable. Then she will suggest one or more approaches and adapt them to your needs so the plan fits your life and preferences.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer to be off camera. Chat and messaging are suited to quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities, while keeping continuity across busy weeks.
