About Sirribi
Sirribi Atanga is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, based in New York with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and trauma and abuse. Sessions also address grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, career challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
Sirribi uses straightforward, person-focused conversation to help people understand what keeps a problem going. She emphasizes cultural humility and pays attention to each person’s background. That means she listens for how race, family history, or life experience shape feelings and choices.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and act in line with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term, practical goals.
In sessions she highlights strengths and practical coping strategies. People work on clearer communication, managing anger and frustration, and rebuilding routines like sleep. She also supports those coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and chronic illness.
Sirribi encourages small, manageable steps rather than sweeping promises. She asks questions, offers strategies, and checks in about what is actually working. To begin, people fill a short questionnaire and schedule a session through the online therapy options.
Approaches used during online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them. It focuses on small actions that align with personal values and can help with anger tied to meaning and relationship strain.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people can explore their experience. This approach supports building on personal strengths and increasing self-understanding when frustration or resentment builds.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical tools. It can be useful for managing impulsive reactions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and improving sleep or mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT with CBT techniques or emphasizing mindfulness exercises depending on what helps most.
