Stephanie Berlin, LMSW

Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with eight years of practice experience, Stephanie Berlin helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She also works with issues related to ADHD, LGBT concerns, grief, eating and body image worries, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Stephanie's practice focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving aimed at immediate relief and clearer next steps.

Stephanie adapts what happens in session to each person's situation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps conversations straightforward. People can expect direct discussion of symptoms, patterns, and concrete strategies to try between sessions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care topics, and abandonment or forgiveness themes when these are part of a client's story.

Her work also addresses chronic pain, illness, disability, and co-morbid conditions that complicate mood and functioning. Communication difficulties, impulsivity, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns are among areas she regularly helps people explore. Stephanie outlines options and practical steps rather than jargon, so people can test what helps most for them.

Sessions include checking current stressors, clarifying goals, and planning achievable actions. Many clients focus on coping skills for anxiety, ways to regulate anger, managing depressive episodes, or sorting through grief. Stephanie relies on measured, evidence-based approaches and ongoing feedback to shape treatment as needs change.
