About Sirribi
Sirribi Atanga is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and parenting concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, ADHD, and life changes.
Sirribi places emphasis on cultural humility and pays attention to each person's background and experiences. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps that match a person's everyday life. She draws on approaches that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness, and small changes that can shift patterns over time.
Her style tends toward listening first, then trying brief, goal-focused strategies together. That may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment skills, and setting small experiments to test new ways of relating. She describes this work as collaborative and direct rather than abstract.
People often come with family-related stress or parenting strain, and she helps individuals sort priorities and communicate needs more clearly. She also works with issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and separation.
Sessions aim to build on what already works in a person's life while addressing the patterns that cause the most friction. Sirribi explains interventions plainly and checks in often about how the approach is fitting for the person. She encourages realistic, manageable changes that can be practiced between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with simple exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and try strategies together. They will adjust methods based on what feels most useful and practical for everyday life.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help therapy fit around parenting, work, and other responsibilities rather than requiring a large time change.
