About Sharisse

Sharisse Ramos, LCSW, offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, steady steps toward greater confidence and functioning. Her style is warm and respectful, aimed at helping clients feel heard while they work on real-life problems.

Ramos has eight years of clinical experience working in New York. She has supported people coping with family conflict, self-esteem struggles, motivation gaps, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. Financial topics such as money management and financial literacy have also been part of her clinical work. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.

Her sessions draw from cognitive behavioral techniques to examine thought patterns and from dialectical behavior ideas to build emotion regulation skills. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take actionable steps. Attachment-based and client-centered methods shape how she builds trust and focuses on the relationship in session.

In practical terms she tailors conversation and goals to the individual. Clients can expect simple tools for stress, step-by-step plans for behavioral change, and support naming and shifting unhelpful patterns. The emphasis is on usable skills rather than jargon.

Ramos works in New York as a licensed clinical social worker. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It can help with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when relationships and communication are a concern.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, current struggles, and personal style. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan over time based on what works for the person.

Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by removing commute time or allowing shorter check-in sessions on a workday. It can also let a person work with a licensed professional in New York even if they live elsewhere. Practical benefits include more flexible scheduling and the ability to use therapy tools from everyday settings while applying new skills to real-life situations.
