Dr. Sharifa Armorer

Dr. Sharifa Armorer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, trauma, and related concerns. She works with folks facing depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and career or workplace issues. Dr. Armorer also focuses on young adult issues, feelings of emptiness, forgiveness, impulsivity, and building self-love and life purpose.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She aims to partner with each person to set clear goals and to work toward measurable change. Sessions tend to be practical and solution-focused, with an emphasis on small steps that fit into everyday life.

Clinically she draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches are blended with a holistic perspective that can include attention to breath, awareness, and behavioral change. The emphasis is on what helps in daily routines and relationships.

Dr. Armorer has 26 years of experience supporting people through difficult transitions and long-term concerns. She describes herself as welcoming and goal oriented, and she invites collaboration so clients shape the focus of their work together.

People considering therapy are encouraged to think about the problems they want to address and the small goals they hope to reach. Dr. Armorer helps translate those goals into clear steps and practical strategies to try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name feelings in relationships and in their own experience. Online sessions can use EFT to slow down strong moments and practice new ways of responding to anger, attachment wounds, or conflict. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. These practices are easy to try during an online session and to repeat afterward. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps build small, realistic steps toward change, which can be especially helpful for addictions, impulsivity, or career shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as the client learns what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, fit sessions into a work break, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills where they live and then report back about how those strategies went. Many clients find this flexibility helps them keep progress steady while managing everyday demands.
