About Sharrisse
Sharrisse El Amrani, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or the fallout from trauma. She writes in clear terms and aims to make sessions practical and understandable for worried parents and busy adults. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she centers the person's own experience in the work.
Sharrisse uses a mix of Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with attachment-informed ideas and cognitive behavioral tools.
Background and approach
She asks about life stories and patterns, then helps people notice which stories still serve them and which they might revise. She also uses mindfulness and values-based strategies to handle intense emotions and make steady choices.
With eight years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, Sharrisse has focused on experiences that include grief, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, and trauma and abuse. She supports people facing life changes, caregiving stress, and questions about identity and intimacy. Sessions often include practical steps to manage mood, communication skills, and ways to rebuild trust in relationships.
Her work pays attention to attachment and early family patterns, including adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, and blended-family challenges. She helps people map how past experiences shape present reactions and then practice new ways of relating. Sharrisse blends person-centered listening with structured tools so clients leave with clearer choices and small, doable actions.
She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles.

Online session options
How narrative and values work translate to online sessions
Sharrisse commonly uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, looking for roles and patterns that no longer fit. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used alongside this work to help people notice thoughts and feelings and take action based on personal values rather than getting stuck in avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods feel most useful, adjusting course as goals and needs change. That collaboration makes therapy practical and keeps the focus on what a person wants to achieve in daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. Video is useful for full-session conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins during the day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while using the therapeutic approaches described above in flexible ways.
