About Shermoin
Shermoin Clardy is a Washington-licensed clinical social worker, LICSW, with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and workplace pressures. Shermoin also offers coaching-style support for people rethinking what matters in life.
She commonly helps people dealing with low self-esteem, attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt, and shame. She has focused experience with issues that affect many women, and with postpartum depression. She also supports clients who are sorting out life purpose after major changes.
Shermoin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical strategies in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on understanding unhelpful patterns, building clearer communication, and developing small, realistic steps forward. She listens for how past experiences shape current responses and helps people try new ways of handling difficult moments.
In sessions she mixes reflective talk with problem-solving and skill practice. That can include working through painful memories, rehearsing boundary-setting language, or mapping daily habits that affect mood. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable next steps, not quick fixes.
Shermoin works with people from diverse backgrounds and pays attention to culture and identity in therapy. She asks about values and priorities when people want help finding direction or renewed purpose. To begin, she guides people through a practical plan for what to work on first and how to measure progress.
Approaches and practical online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing patterns that keep people stuck. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and daily routines. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Another approach draws on trauma-informed methods that help people process painful memories at a manageable pace while teaching grounding and emotional regulation skills. This work aims to reduce the intensity of distress and increase coping options in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Shermoin will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin by identifying immediate concerns and testing small changes, then adjust approaches as progress and priorities become clearer.
