Sara Harvey , LPC

Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings hands-on experience working with children and families, and has spent significant time delivering services through a non-profit agency. Her work focuses on children ages 4 to 17 and extends to their families, meeting them in homes, community settings, or at school to address the practical realities of daily life.

Sara has experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, attachment and bonding concerns, trauma and abuse, and related challenges. She is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a structured approach that helps children and caregivers process and cope with traumatic experiences. Her background also includes training in Infant Mental Health, with an emphasis on strengthening attachment and bonding between infants and their primary caregivers.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and tailors conversations and treatment plans to each family or individual. Sara frames the first steps toward greater wellbeing as an act of courage and positions herself as a supportive partner in that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on relationships and the bonds between people. It explores how early connections with caregivers affect current patterns of relating and can be especially helpful for attachment concerns, parenting issues, and improving family interaction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It provides tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping by teaching skills to shift unhelpful patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy, including Trauma-Focused CBT, helps individuals and families process distressing experiences and develop healthier coping strategies. It is structured to support recovery from traumatic events while attending to developmental and relational needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sara works with each person or family to identify goals, consider preferences, and adjust methods as needed so the therapy fits the client’s situation and strengths.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue consistent care from home or work, and maintain access to licensed professionals when in-person visits are difficult.
