About Sara
Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, career challenges, relationship and family issues, grief, and other life changes. Sara also supports those coping with sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Sara uses approaches that keep conversations practical and focused. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Sessions often include mindfulness practices and short solution-focused exercises. These tools are used to calm immediate reactions, clarify priorities, and build small, manageable steps forward. Motivational interviewing techniques help when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change.
Sara aims to help people recognize patterns that fuel anger or resentment. She works on clearer communication, boundary setting, and coping skills that reduce reactivity. The focus is on skills people can use between sessions in everyday situations.
Her background includes a decade of clinical experience in Michigan settings. She blends practical techniques with a client-centered attitude to support progress over time. To start, Sara asks about current concerns and priorities and works with each person to set concrete goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Online sessions allow the same attentive, person-led conversations so the therapist follows the client's priorities and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then practices new ways of responding. Online work can include reviewing thought patterns, setting behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness; these can be practiced during a session and assigned as brief daily exercises.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick strategies and adjust them over time based on what feels useful and doable for the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills in the settings where they matter most, so strategies can be applied between sessions and reviewed with the therapist.
