About Sharrisse

Sharrisse El Amrani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a range of life challenges. She offers calm, practical support for parents and caregivers dealing with stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief, and trauma.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to make sessions useful and easy to follow for a busy family schedule. She draws on eight years of counseling experience and uses simple, relatable tools to help people make changes.

Background and approach

Sessions often explore communication patterns, boundaries, and ways to handle parenting stresses and blended family dynamics. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current family life and parenting choices. Sharrisse uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

She combines these to meet each person where they are and address concrete problems like sleep disruption, behavior issues, shame, or low confidence. In sessions she listens first, then offers strategies clients can try between meetings. That might include small behavior changes, new routines, or ways to speak with a partner or child.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her practice also covers concerns such as adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, codependency, and body image. She works in English and provides care through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit family rhythms.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so parents and caregivers can steer behavior toward what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and helps repair patterns that affect parenting and family bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending ACT, attachment work, and client-centered listening to address both emotions and daily routines.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into family life. These formats allow for flexible timing, quick check-ins between meetings, and the ability to practice tools in the home environment. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, communication rehearsals, and problem-solving without requiring travel, which helps busy parents balance care with daily responsibilities.

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.
