About Sirribi

Sirribi Atanga is a licensed social worker with eight years of clinical experience who helps people navigate complicated life transitions and persistent emotional challenges. She approaches each person with cultural humility and a strengths-based perspective, aiming to honor individual backgrounds while focusing on practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and a range of related issues such as self-esteem, anger, sleep difficulties, and career-related stresses. Clients can expect collaborative care that centers their values and resilience.

Sirribi blends evidence-informed methods to help clients clarify goals and develop skills for coping and growth. She highlights acceptance, mindful awareness, and action aligned with personal priorities while also offering structured cognitive and solution-focused techniques to address patterns that cause distress.

Based in New York, she provides sessions in English and structures treatment around each person’s pace and life circumstances, working to build practical strategies and lasting insight.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Sirribi commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that reflect personal values; it can be helpful for people managing persistent worry, grief, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, which is effective for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily challenges.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to explore strengths, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods over time so that treatment remains relevant and responsive to changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapy and practical tools in a format that suits the client.
