About Sharrisse

Sharrisse El Amrani, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that families and individuals can use right away. Her style aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful for daily life.

She brings eight years of counseling experience in Georgia and works with people facing trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, attention difficulties, and career stress. Sharrisse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and attachment-based ideas to address both thoughts and patterns of relating to others.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments that build new habits. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and practice acceptance for things they cannot change. This mix supports coping, mood shifts, and stronger communication with loved ones.

Sharrisse treats issues like abandonment, blended family challenges, body image struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, and fatherhood concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, forgiveness work, and managing compassion fatigue. The work often weaves personal history with present-day problems to create lasting change.

Her approach centers on the client’s perspective. She aims to guide people toward more satisfying relationships and better self-understanding. Practical tools and steady support are offered so clients can move forward at a manageable pace.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Sharrisse often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and supports step-by-step change for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can be helpful for people coping with chronic stress, grief, or recurring worries. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early connections influence present difficulties; this approach helps people notice how they relate and practice different ways of connecting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans when something isn’t working. The focus is on practical tools and steady progress rather than one fixed method.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
