Sheri Stav

Sheri Stav is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and the strains of caregiving. Sheri works with people navigating divorce and separation as part of broader life transitions. She practices in Michigan and brings 23 years of experience to her work.

Sheri focuses on practical tools that can be used day to day. Sessions often center on building coping skills for difficult thoughts and overwhelming feelings. She emphasizes small, manageable steps so changes feel doable rather than overwhelming. The tone in sessions is collaborative and respectful, with attention to each person’s values and goals.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. Sheri holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential, noted as LMSW. That clinical foundation guides her work with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and long-term challenges like chronic pain and disability.

People seeking help for communication problems, control issues, isolation, or questions of life purpose may find a steady, practical partner in Sheri. She brings attention to both emotional needs and everyday routines that support change. Conversations are aimed at increasing resilience and reducing barriers to moving forward.

Starting therapy is framed as a courageous step toward well-being. Sheri invites questions and a clear discussion about goals before beginning work together.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that teach concrete coping skills and help reframe unhelpful thinking patterns. Sheri describes her work as evidence-based in practice, which often means using techniques that help manage anxiety, grief, and stress through skill building and structured conversations. These methods are useful for people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and life transitions such as divorce and separation.

She also emphasizes collaborative, holistic work that looks at daily routines, values, and emotional patterns. That means a therapist and client decide together which techniques to try and adapt them to real life. Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Sheri will work with each person to identify goals and adjust methods over time.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping momentum between appointments. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep consistent appointments and apply new skills in daily settings, while allowing flexible scheduling that fits around caregiving or medical needs.
