About Sara
Sara Harvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She has a long background working in community settings with children and families and focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, anger, and trauma and abuse.
She spent much of her early career at a nonprofit serving at-risk children and families. That work included in-home, school, and community visits with children ages 4 to 17 and their caregivers. Over time she developed expertise in attachment and bonding concerns and in work with trauma-related issues.
Sara uses practical, evidence-informed methods in her work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce distress. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas when relationships and bonding are central to the problem.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations look at what causes anger or anxiety, what keeps those patterns in place, and small steps to change them. Motivational Interviewing informs how she supports readiness for change and helps people stick with new strategies.
She speaks English and practices in Michigan. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns that keep anger and anxiety active, then practice step-by-step changes that reduce reactivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy gives a structure for addressing painful memories and symptoms tied to past harm, with pacing that fits each person.Attachment-Based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. It can help when anger comes from fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting, or problems with bonding. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to try new ways of managing anger and follow through on those changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which approach fits the client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions are more manageable. The focus is on practical steps you can use between sessions to reduce anger and improve everyday interactions.
