Amie Sherrill-Pierce

Amie Sherrill-Pierce is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of practice. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. She also supports those navigating relationship struggles, parenting stress, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation.

She listens with attention to each person’s beliefs and values, including a faith-informed perspective when appropriate. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, aimed at identifying what matters most and building small, workable steps forward. People often work on clearer communication, managing intense emotions, and finding ways to cope day to day.

Her approach combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy, so conversations focus on the person and on patterns of thinking and behavior that can be changed. Over time that often leads to new ways of responding to stress and improved problem solving. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Amie’s background includes a long history of counseling individuals through loss, life transitions, and relational strain. She draws on fifteen years of experience to help people rebuild connection and recover a sense of agency. She aims to help clients find clearer direction and renewed resilience.

If you are considering therapy, she asks that you start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. This helps make sure the first session is focused on your current priorities.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals and values at the center of the work. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting each person to lead the direction of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort thoughts and clarify what matters most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It involves noticing patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing small changes that can reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is useful for managing stress, solving problems, and changing habits that hold people back.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That might mean focusing more on supportive listening at first, then adding CBT tools as useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have brief check-ins around a work break or to meet from different locations when needed. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and conducted.
