Transfer values from JSON to Google sheet using python - json

Question

So I have this code below which shows the number of times emails have been sent to a particular email address (from a list of emails saved in Google Sheet) and it countups the value in different sessions the code runs. The values are stored in a JSON file.
Is there a way I can push these values from JSON file to Google Sheet directly from Python. I want to do this without using Pandas dataframe and IMPORTJSON function in Google sheet.
As a newbie to programming and Python, I have tried researching this but have come to a dead-end. Any help appreciated for this.
import gspread

"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('my-jsonfile.json', scope)
client = gspread.authorize(credentials)
sheet3 = client.open('Dashboard').worksheet('Sheet3') # Open the spreadsheet
sheet1 = client.open('Dashboard').worksheet('Sheet1') # Open the spreadsheet
sheet4 = client.open('Dashboard').worksheet('Sheet4') # Open the spreadsheet

# print(counter)
print(email_stats) # output - all occurrences for each email
with open(counter_file_path, "w") as f:
results = json.dump(email_stats, f)
The results of the JSON file are {"receiver_emails_1": 6, "receiver_emails_2": 6}

Try this.
Please reference to this documentation.
(Update a range of cells using the top left corner address).

import json
import gspread
from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials
# connect to your google sheet
scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
credentials = Credentials.from_service_account_file('key.json', scopes=scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
wks = gc.open("your spreadsheet name").sheet1
# Let's say you have some json values
x = '{ "receiver_email_1":6, "receiver_email_2":8, "receiver_email_3":10 }'
y = json.loads(x)
result = []
for key in y:
result.append([key,y[key]])
wks.update('A1', result)
