About Sharrisse

Sharrisse El Amrani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who works with people facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictions.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of clinical experience to support clients navigating life transitions, grief, parenting challenges, attention differences, mood concerns such as bipolar, and issues tied to identity and self-worth. Her background also includes work with attachment and family-of-origin difficulties, blended family and fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, and forgiveness work.

Her practice emphasizes a person-centered, humanistic stance that treats each client as the expert on their own life while offering guidance toward change. She integrates cognitive behavioral tools alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and attachment-based perspectives to address thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns.

The aim is practical: to help clients develop coping skills, repair relational patterns, and reclaim a more meaningful sense of direction. Sessions blend compassion with concrete strategies to support healing from past wounds and real-world problem solving moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Sharrisse often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through skill-building and practical exercises, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult emotions, helping clients tolerate distress while pursuing meaningful life directions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she approaches this collaboratively. Together with each client she explores goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then adapts techniques so they fit the client's needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage from settings that feel most convenient while still working with a licensed professional.
