Sara LaBelle, LPC

Sara LaBelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with ten years of experience. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people respond to stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Her work centers on practical ways to cope and build resilience in daily life.

Clients often come with concerns about parenting, career strain, grief, or changes after a separation. She also helps people who struggle with sleep, eating, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. ADHD, compassion fatigue, and ongoing mood or emptiness issues are listed among her common focus areas.

Sara uses straightforward methods to identify patterns in thinking and behavior. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness practices are added when people want tools for grounding and stress relief.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear steps. People and therapists work together to try approaches and adjust them as needed. Progress is measured in everyday changes, like fewer angry reactions or more restful nights.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work in Michigan settings and helping people manage life transitions and interpersonal challenges. The LPC credential indicates she is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the site match process to confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy starts with the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape goals that matter to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It breaks problems into smaller steps and uses exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and difficulty with everyday habits.

Sara treats the choice of approach as a team effort. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying an approach and adjusting it if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Finding ways to practice skills between meetings is a common benefit whether sessions are remote or in person.
