About Sharifa
Dr. Sharifa Armorer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 26 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. She also focuses on emptiness, forgiveness, impulsivity, life purpose, self-love, workplace issues, and young adult concerns.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy. In sessions she aims to identify specific goals and practical steps. Conversations often clarify patterns, name difficult emotions, and test small changes between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical social work and work with children and families over two decades. She draws on a mix of clinical methods and nonclinical practices mentioned in her original biography to shape treatment plans. This means clients can expect both talk-based strategies and attention to everyday functioning.
Dr. Armorer describes herself as solution-focused and goal-oriented. She typically collaborates with people to set clear short-term aims and track progress. Sessions tend to center on problem solving, emotion recognition, and building concrete skills that support day-to-day life.
People who prefer a practical, goal-directed approach may find this style fits well. Interested clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed process to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with emotions that shape their relationships and behavior. It focuses on identifying emotional patterns and creating new ways of responding to feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation guides whether to emphasize EFT, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps.
