01About Sara
Sara LaBelle is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She draws on practical therapy methods to help clients build coping skills and greater self-understanding. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at creating tools people can use day to day.
With ten years of experience, she often works with concerns like depression, grief, sleep and eating issues, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Career pressures, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue are also frequent topics in her work. She uses known therapy approaches to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Sara blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques.
That means she listens first, and then helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are added to teach calming skills and set short-term goals. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented.
Clients learn tools for managing anxiety, handling anger, improving communication, and making decisions. The emphasis is on small, sustainable changes rather than on quick fixes. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum questions, and abandonment wounds.
Other focused areas include codependency, blended family challenges, and disruptive mood regulation concerns. People who choose her often want clear options, steady support, and a therapist who explains techniques in plain language. Sara works with each person to tailor a plan that fits their life and goals.

04Online support
How therapy approaches shape online care
Sara commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating feelings, and creating a respectful space where a person guides the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then tests small behavior changes to see what improves daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. That collaborative process helps match the methods to the problem, whether it is anxiety, grief, or parenting stress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible ways to share updates and get coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily needs.
