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 focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Sessions also address trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting concerns, career stress, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood issues.
Sirribi frames therapy around cultural humility and a strengths-based outlook. She pays attention to each person's background and life story. In sessions she helps people notice what is working, name difficult patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her approach draws on methods that emphasize present-moment noticing and practical steps. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clarify values and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening also guide the work.
People who come to Sirribi for help with anger often learn ways to pause before reacting, express frustration more directly, and reduce the build-up of resentment. She also helps with communication problems, control issues, and commitment concerns that often sit alongside anger.
Sirribi works with practical goals like better sleep, steadier mood, and clearer boundaries. She encourages small experiments between sessions and tracks what changes help. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial meeting to set goals together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that align with those values. It helps with ongoing anger, avoidance, and life transitions by teaching practical steps to act toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses small experiments and skill practice to reduce reactive patterns and mood swings. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment attention and simple breathing or noticing exercises that can reduce the intensity of anger and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods and pick what fits their goals and preferences. That process is gradual and driven by what produces useful change in everyday life.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If someone prefers less visual focus, phone conversations can be an option to reduce bandwidth and make sessions feel simpler. Confirm the available session formats when you schedule so arrangements match your routine and needs.
