Sharisse Ramos, LCSW

Sharisse Ramos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions while honoring each person’s unique starting point. Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and steady encouragement, aiming to empower clients as they take concrete steps toward greater fulfillment.

Ramos has worked in clinical settings supporting individuals and families with a range of concerns including financial stress, motivation challenges, ADHD, and blended family dynamics. Her clinical toolkit includes Motivational Interviewing, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Anger Management, Creative Arts Therapy, and trauma-informed interventions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) serve as the foundation of her work, and she adapts techniques and dialogue to align with each client’s goals and preferences.

She places particular emphasis on attachment-related issues, abandonment concerns, communication difficulties, codependency, and caregiver stress, tailoring treatment plans to address both immediate coping needs and longer-term relational patterns. Ramos welcomes clients seeking practical strategies and collaborative support, including those located internationally, and she recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and the importance of meeting clients where they are.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharisse Ramos draws on several evidence-informed methods to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and early connection styles to address abandonment concerns, attachment wounds, and family or blended-family conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ramos works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps create a personalized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy with Ramos is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access for busy schedules and clients who live outside her immediate area. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, coordinate around work or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
