About Sirribi
Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma.

Background and approach
Sirribi uses a strengths-based stance and cultural humility to adapt to each person's situation. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive strategies and mindfulness. That means clients learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, while also practicing small behavior changes that create relief over time.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals in short order. People come to Sirribi for a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing challenges tied to abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, autism spectrum differences, chronic illness, and body image struggles.
Sessions may include reflection, skill practice, and problem-solving steps tailored to what the client needs that week. Her aim is to help people move through life changes with more agency and fewer barriers to daily functioning.

How ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings so they can act in line with their values. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, depression, or life transitions who want to move toward meaningful goals despite uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and practicing new behaviors to change outcomes. It is useful for stress, sleep troubles, anger, and mood challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration; it lets the client lead while the therapist reflects and supports growth.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Over time they adjust the plan based on what helps most, combining techniques when that makes sense.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats - video calls for full conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth or cameras aren't ideal, live chat for brief check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, accommodate shorter check-ins, and continue work when in-person visits are difficult.
