Sirribi Atanga

Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker who guides people through stressful life shifts and strong emotions. She holds an MA, is a Massachusetts Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and brings eight years of clinical experience in New York. She emphasizes respect, cultural humility, and a strengths-based stance in sessions.

She helps people who struggle with anxiety, stress, anger, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career transitions, and complicated medical or chronic illness issues. Attention differences, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue are also within her stated focus.

Sirribi uses practical therapy methods that help people notice what matters to them and make small, manageable changes. Her work draws on acceptance and commitment practices, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Client-centered and solution-focused elements are woven into sessions to keep the work relevant and goal-oriented.

Expect a calm, respectful space where the therapist listens first and helps clarify goals. Sessions tend to emphasize building on strengths, understanding patterns that drive anger or anxiety, and practicing clear, realistic steps for change. Cultural background and personal values are named and explored as part of the work.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Sirribi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and choose actions that match what matters most. ACT can help when anger, anxiety, or avoidance get in the way of living a meaningful life.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT techniques are useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and anger responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and daily routine. That choice can change as work progresses and new priorities appear.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you prefer a shorter check-in on a work break or need a quieter setting, discuss those preferences when scheduling. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available session types on the site before booking. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to work effectively in virtual sessions and help people practice skills between meetings.
