Sara Harvey, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Sara

Sara Harvey is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She began her career in nonprofit settings working with children and families. She now focuses on helping parents and caregivers manage everyday stresses and major life changes.

Sara uses practical, straightforward approaches in sessions. She helps families talk through conflict, parenting challenges, grief, and strong emotions like anger and anxiety. She also supports people facing trauma, attachment concerns, addiction, and caregiver stress.

Background and approach

Her training includes work with trauma-focused methods and an emphasis on attachment and bonding between infants and primary caregivers. She has a background helping children ages 4 to 17 in home, school, and community settings. That experience informs how she supports parents and family systems today.

Sara adapts her work to the needs of each family. She listens for what is happening day to day and builds steps that feel doable. Conversations tend to focus on improving communication, managing difficult feelings, and changing patterns that cause repeated problems.

She aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion while tailoring plans to each situation. For a worried parent, sessions are practical and focused on real changes at home and in relationships.

Practical approaches for online family support

Attachment-based work focuses on the way people connect and bond. It helps parents and caregivers notice patterns in relationships and build more reliable ways of responding to children and loved ones.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses short, concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to family goals and try methods that match those needs. Together the client and therapist adjust the plan based on what feels useful and manageable.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy family life. These options make it easier to schedule short check-ins, do focused coaching, or continue support between in-depth meetings. The aim is to make therapy more practical and reachable for parents and caregivers who need flexible options.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
