About Sharifa
Dr. Sharifa Armorer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship or family problems. She works with individuals on grief, trauma, addiction, self-esteem, career concerns, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Her style is practical and goal-focused, aimed at clear steps people can use between sessions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand their feelings in relationships.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and steady attention. Motivational Interviewing can be part of the work when someone wants to change habits or address addiction. Her background includes 26 years in clinical practice and a Doctorate in Traditional Naturopathy.
She brings both clinical and holistic perspectives to sessions, combining talk therapy with strategies that promote wellbeing. The profile lists her credential as LCSW-R in New York. Sessions focus on setting concrete goals and building small, achievable steps.
She often frames work around solutions and practical adjustments rather than long, vague plans. That approach can help people see progress more quickly. Dr.
Armorer emphasizes collaboration. She invites people to name what matters most and then maps out a plan together. The tone in sessions is warm and direct, with attention to both current stressors and past issues that affect everyday life.

How specific approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that show up in relationships. In online sessions this can help someone see recurring patterns and respond differently to conflict or disconnection. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety or anger. These techniques translate easily to video or phone sessions and give tools to use between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize EFT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or a mix of methods that fit the situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists use visual cues during emotionally focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a calmer voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching, or tracking goals between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
