About Sara
Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, career shifts, relationship and family concerns, grief, and problems with sleep, eating, and self-esteem.
Sara helps people who struggle with patterns like codependency, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in close relationships. She also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges related to autism and Asperger syndrome. Her work includes supporting those with ADHD, mood and personality challenges, and people coping with separation or blended family issues.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to practice different choices. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are part of short-term work that targets clear goals and immediate problems.
Sara often blends motivational interviewing when people are weighing big changes, such as career shifts or recovery from compassion fatigue. She aims to help clients recognize patterns, set practical boundaries, and build manageable coping skills. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between appointments.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. Prospective clients in Michigan should confirm current session options before booking and can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes usable tools and steady progress.
How sessions work
How Sara applies core approaches online
Sara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that keep them stuck and to practice small behavior changes that make daily life easier. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep struggles, anger, low mood, and habit changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and letting the person lead the pace and topics. This approach helps when people need space to sort out values, boundaries, and relationship decisions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sara collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT techniques, mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing, or short solution-focused steps best fit their goals. That choice is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Ask which session types are offered and pick what fits your life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, childcare, or travel, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use techniques at home between visits. Licensed professionals can help set practical next steps and tools to use between appointments.
