About Sharisse

Sharisse Ramos is a licensed clinical social worker who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience in New York, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as foundational tools while incorporating other approaches to address depression, self-esteem concerns, and family-related struggles. Her work often focuses on relationship dynamics, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, and communication or control problems.

She has supported clients managing caregiver stress, divorce and separation, body image difficulties, and the emotional aftermath of domestic violence. Sessions are tailored to each person’s priorities, with attention to motivation, coping skills, and practical problem solving.

Sharisse approaches therapy with sensitivity and respect, aiming to empower clients to pursue greater fulfillment. She accepts international clients and offers services in English, inviting prospective clients to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical change

Sharisse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, life situation, and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across time zones and life demands while practicing skills between meetings.
