About Sirribi
Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York with eight years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence to help people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and other life shifts. Sirribi emphasizes each person's strengths and worth as the starting point for change.
She centers her work on cultural humility and respect for individual background. That means she pays attention to how culture and life story shape the problem and the way healing can happen. Sessions are aimed at understanding what matters to the client and building tools that fit their daily life.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based ideas. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods when they fit the client’s goals. In practice this can mean talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and noticing what values guide choices.
People come to Sirribi for a wide range of concerns including mood struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD-related challenges, and career or identity questions. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, attachment difficulties, and transitions such as separation or adoption-related issues.
Sirribi aims to collaborate on realistic goals and simple steps to move forward. Her style is warm and practical, listening first and then working together on what helps most in everyday life.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own priorities. Online sessions can keep that focus by giving space to talk through what feels most important and by letting the client set the pace for change.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and commit to actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching small, value-based steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tries practical experiments to change unhelpful habits. It often involves short, concrete tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many clients value online work for the ability to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and continue support while juggling home and work demands. Therapists can adapt exercises, assign brief at-home practices, and use shorter check-ins when that helps someone stay engaged.
