About Shari-Beth
Shari-Beth Goldman is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, depression, and big life changes. Her background also includes helping with caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and workplace issues.
Shari-Beth favors a straightforward, collaborative way of working. She helps people name and track difficult feelings, sort out what matters most, and build small, practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Conversations cover what is happening now and what patterns might be keeping problems stuck.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and worry, make decisions, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. Sessions often focus on concrete coping skills, clearer thinking about choices, and practicing new ways of responding to stress. The goal is to increase usable skills rather than offering quick fixes.
Clients commonly bring issues tied to identity, relationships, work, caregiving, or health conditions. Shari-Beth listens for how guilt or shame shows up and helps people separate past actions from who they are now. She also supports people working to find renewed purpose or to navigate endings like divorce.
Her style is steady and practical. People who want clear steps, plain talk, and help testing new approaches tend to find the work useful. Sessions are offered in English in Michigan, and international clients are not accepted.
Approach and how online sessions work
Shari-Beth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and stress. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This method helps people notice automatic negative thoughts and try different ways of responding to them.Another approach emphasizes building practical coping skills for day-to-day life. That can include step-by-step plans for managing worry, pacing activity when dealing with chronic illness, or strategies to handle workplace stress. These skills make problems easier to manage between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shari-Beth will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often find that remote sessions let people practice skills in their everyday routine, which can help translate changes into daily life.
