About Shermoin
Shermoin Clardy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and workplace strain. Shermoin also offers coaching to help with practical goals and life transitions.
She often helps clients who are dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, and struggles with guilt and shame. She also supports women facing postpartum challenges and those wanting to clarify life purpose or mend strained workplace dynamics. Her practice includes conversations about forgiveness when that is part of what a person needs to address.
Shermoin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions involve talking through thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns, and trying skills that can change day-to-day behavior. She pays attention to each person’s cultural and spiritual context when that matters to them.
In meetings she focuses on concrete steps as well as the emotions underneath them. That can mean making a plan for a specific stressor, practicing new ways to communicate, or working through how guilt and shame affect choices. She encourages practical changes alongside reflection.
People who come to Shermoin are often looking for clear strategies and steady guidance while they process difficult feelings. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session to see how the work might fit their needs.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques mean using methods that focus on clear, practical change as well as emotional processing. One common approach is skills-based work that identifies patterns in thinking and behavior and then practices alternative responses; this helps with anxiety, stress, and everyday decision making. Another common approach is trauma-informed care, which focuses on pacing, safety in the conversation, and building capacity to manage strong emotions while addressing past harm.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, deeper processing, coaching for life or workplace issues, or a mix of those methods.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into a workday, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer a fuller session when they have more time. A conversation about practical needs helps shape how the work will proceed.
