About Sirribi
Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people manage big life changes and everyday struggles. She holds an MA LICSW and practices as a CO LCSW based in New York. Sirribi focuses on clear, down-to-earth support so people feel understood and able to take practical steps forward.
She works with concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma. She also addresses relationship strain, intimacy-related worries, parenting questions, and issues around self-esteem and anger.
Background and approach
Phobias are part of her focus areas alongside attention-related and mood concerns such as ADHD and bipolar challenges. Sirribi uses approaches that help people notice what matters and try small changes. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness to steady attention in difficult moments.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She listens for cultural context and personal history, then helps people build on what already works in their lives.
Appointments involve practical tools, brief experiments, and space to process emotions. Clients connect with Sirribi through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling once a plan feels right.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by encouraging small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests new ways of responding; it helps with phobias, anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and a nonjudgmental relationship so people can explore feelings and find their own solutions.Sirribi treats finding the right method as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, everyday routines, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. The aim is to match techniques to the person's needs rather than assume one path is best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, coaching between sessions, and ongoing prompts to try new strategies.
