Michelle Sherman

Taking the step to seek support is an important move toward managing mental health and self-care, and Michelle Sherman offers experienced guidance for that process. Based in Michigan, she brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work helping people cope with stress, transitions, and loss.

Michelle is a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker - LMSW 6801077222 - and practices from a strengths-based counseling perspective. She integrates evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and stress reduction methods within a safe, empathic, and nonjudgmental environment to support meaningful progress.

Building trust and a secure therapeutic relationship is central to her practice. Michelle provides support for individuals facing anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, family conflict, divorce, and general life stress. Parenting concerns are also a focus, including the challenges of managing the demands of children with special needs; she has engaged in school advocacy to assist families with IEPs and 504 plans.

Her approach often incorporates mindfulness practices, self-regulation strategies, challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, and exploring the “whys” behind habits to promote lasting change. Individuals and families she has worked with have shared that they find her open, caring, a great listener, warm, accepting, and full of strategies, methodology, and tools that have been helpful.

Michelle recognizes that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming and encourages persistence in that search. She wishes those seeking help well on their journey and looks forward to meeting prospective clients.
