Sharisse Ramos, LCSW

Sharisse Ramos is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the life shifts that feel overwhelming.

She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as central ways to structure sessions. These approaches guide conversations toward clearer thoughts and useful skills for handling hard moments. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy when those perspectives fit a person's goals.

Clients come to her with many concerns including depression, family problems, relationship communication issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, codependency, and the strain of divorce or blended family challenges. Her work often focuses on building coping strategies and improving everyday functioning.

With eight years of professional experience, she has worked in clinical settings offering a range of interventions. She aims to meet people where they are and shape each session around specific needs and goals. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to respect and sensitivity.

She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability, with ongoing care organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Sharisse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior, which often works well in structured online sessions. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, helping when life changes or emotional pain feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text messages can support brief updates, homework checks, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones, while keeping the focus on practical work and steady progress.
