About Advaitha
Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience in mental health and rehabilitation work in Australia. She has provided individual counselling in community, employment and private practice settings. Her background includes work with trauma, grief and loss, adjustment to injury, and family and domestic violence.
She works with adults to address stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps people dealing with addiction, anger, self-esteem and parenting strain. Advaitha lists a range of additional focus areas such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems.
Her method is person-centred and trauma-informed, aimed at building trust and identifying strengths. Sessions focus on practical strategies that can be used between meetings. She uses evidence-informed tools rather than a single technique.
Advaitha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focussed work. That mix lets her adapt to short-term or longer-term needs and to changing priorities during recovery or transition.
She supports people navigating life changes, separation, workplace strain and the stresses of caregiving. Sessions are aimed at helping people increase confidence, manage symptoms and find clearer ways to move forward. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with skills practice and check-ins on progress.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when stress, grief or uncertainty make daily life feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for anger, anxiety, sleep and many everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and effective communication, which can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are common.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and monitor progress, adjusting the plan if needed.
The practical benefits of online work make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Confirm the session formats available before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break and make it possible to continue support while managing work or caregiving demands. Appropriately qualified therapists can guide skill practice, homework tasks and follow-up between appointments to keep progress moving.
