About Sharisse

Sharisse Ramos is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and rebuild balance in family life. She draws on eight years of experience to guide conversations that feel grounded and doable. Sessions focus on small, concrete changes that add up over time.

She speaks English and works with people in New York and internationally. Her work often centers on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She also addresses family problems, blended family issues, and communication challenges. Additional topics she helps with include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, and navigating separation or divorce. Sharisse blends several approaches to match each person’s needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) form much of her practical toolkit for coping skills and emotional regulation. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and attachment-based thinking to untangle relationship patterns. In sessions the focus is on clear goals and workable steps.

Clients can expect collaborative planning, skill practice, and straightforward talk about what’s getting in the way. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and priorities change. Sharisse holds an LCSW, New York license number NY LCSW 096138.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect with clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for family-focused care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports coping with life transitions, anxiety, and feelings of emptiness by focusing on what matters most and taking small committed steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and improving daily routines and communication habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted together as progress is made or priorities change.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work for those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins. These options provide convenience and let people continue work on skills and family issues from home or while traveling.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
