Sheri Stav, LMSW

Sheri Stav is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Michigan with 23 years of professional experience supporting adults through challenging life circumstances. She earned both a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan, and she practices with an LMSW, which is a licensed social work credential in Michigan. Sheri’s clinical focus centers on people living with chronic illness and those navigating the practical and emotional demands of caregiving, including caregiver stress and burnout.

She also works with clients experiencing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. Sheri emphasizes building practical coping strategies that help clients manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in day-to-day life. Her style is holistic and eclectic, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to foster insight and strengthen resilience while addressing barriers to growth.

Therapy with Sheri is collaborative and paced to each person’s goals and readiness for change. She frames the decision to seek help as an act of courage and self-care, and she welcomes conversations about how she can support individuals as they work toward improved well-being and meaningful, sustainable change.

Holistic and adaptable therapeutic approaches for online care

Sheri’s work draws on holistic and eclectic evidence-based techniques, which means she considers emotional, behavioral, and practical factors together to support overall well-being. A holistic approach looks at the whole person and how health, relationships, and daily routines interact to influence stress, grief, and chronic illness adjustment. An eclectic approach tailors proven therapeutic tools to each client’s needs, combining strategies that address anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and Sheri treats that as a collaborative effort. She partners with clients to identify goals, tries methods that fit their preferences and circumstances, and adapts the plan as progress and challenges arise.

Online therapy with Sheri is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people managing health limitations, caregiving responsibilities, or busy schedules. These options make it easier to access regular support, keep continuity of care, and integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adjust methods to fit each person’s pace and needs.
