Sheri Stav

Sheri Stav is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 23 years of experience based in Michigan. She helps people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Sheri focuses on practical ways to manage thoughts, emotions, and day-to-day behavior. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. She uses a holistic, eclectic style that pulls from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build resilience and remove barriers to change.

People often come to her when caregiving responsibilities feel overwhelming or when chronic health problems make life harder. She works with clients to develop coping strategies that fit their routines and responsibilities. Conversations are aimed at increasing clarity, motivation, and emotional regulation.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. Sheri draws on more than two decades of clinical experience to inform practical, steady guidance rather than theory-heavy sessions.

She frames the first step into therapy as an act of courage and self-care. Sheri welcomes questions about whether her way of working might fit a person’s situation and helps people find a clear path forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Sheri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as step-by-step strategies for managing overwhelming thoughts and daily routines. Another approach centers on grief and adjustment work, helping people name what they’ve lost, find small ways to remember, and slowly reestablish meaning and routine after change.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sheri works with clients to clarify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on how a person responds. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Sheri’s practice description does not list specific online formats here, so check what formats are offered when you sign up. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and let people join from locations that are more convenient. A therapist can recommend approaches that fit the practical constraints of your life while focusing on the issues you bring to therapy.
