Sharisse Ramos , LCSW

Sharisse Ramos is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her approach centers on listening closely and building practical steps that fit each person's life.

She uses a mix of behavioral and relational methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) form much of her day-to-day work. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches when they suit the person's goals.

Ramos has eight years of professional experience in clinical settings. That background includes helping people navigate family tensions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and separation or divorce. She also supports people working through body image, codependency, abandonment, and communication problems.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are and move at their pace. Conversations focus on concrete skills and real-life changes - coping strategies for anxiety, clearer communication tools, and ways to rebuild self-worth. Plans are shaped around each person's needs and goals.

She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Her style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on practical steps and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and when life changes make it hard to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions teach practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build coping strategies for stress and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with relationship conflict and repeated patterns like impulsivity or avoidance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This makes sessions more likely to match real-life needs and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach people who cannot attend in-person appointments.
