About Sara
Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting questions, anger, and career strain. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep and eating issues, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.
Sara focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different, small changes. Sessions include straightforward strategies for managing frustration, improving communication, and coping with life changes.
She uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals and keep progress moving. Client-centered methods guide how she works with each person’s priorities and pace.
Sara has spent a decade working with adults across many challenges, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and personality-related difficulties like avoidant or dependent patterns. She also addresses practical topics such as blended family adjustments, divorce and separation, and workplace stress.
People who come for help with anger or resentment are offered concrete tools to reduce outbursts and rebuild strained interactions. Her work looks at triggers, communication habits, and everyday routines that affect mood. The focus is on usable steps rather than long explanations.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's priorities and adjusts pace to what matters most. That approach supports clear listening and collaborative planning for goals that feel relevant to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by giving concrete experiments and skills people can practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to notice emotions and bodily signs early. This can help reduce reactive responses and improve attention to triggers before they escalate. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something isn't working. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available ways to meet when you complete the matching questionnaire. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow quieter surroundings, or avoid travel time, while some prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.Areas of expertise
