Sara Harvey

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings 15 years of experience working with children, caregivers, and individuals who are managing stress, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Sara focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Her background includes long-term work at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families. That work involved meeting people where they are - in homes, schools, and community settings - and helping with things like attachment concerns, trauma, and family conflict. Sara also has experience related to infant mental health and bonding between infants and primary caregivers.

In sessions she uses approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs, using clear language and simple, doable steps. Sara emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work.

Parents often find her practical focus helpful when addressing behavior, anxiety, grief, or parenting strain. She also works with people coping with addiction, chronic illness, career stress, and major life changes. The goal is to help people build skills that fit into their daily life.

Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Sara offers a steady presence and collaborative planning to help people move toward clearer goals and small, sustainable changes.

Approaches that guide online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and reduce the impact of traumatic events. It uses structured conversation and gradual exposure to help lessen intense reactions and improve daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and develop safer, more trusting ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting plans as progress and challenges appear.

The practical benefits of remote sessions can include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between sessions, which helps learning stick over time.
