About Sirribi

Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She holds an MA and uses eight years of clinical experience to help people navigate stressful life changes. She speaks English and works with adults on concerns related to anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges.

Sirribi centers cultural humility in her sessions and treats each person as an individual with their own strengths. She takes a straightforward, strengths-based approach that emphasizes what is already working in a person's life.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical steps rather than long lectures. Her work often addresses stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and anger. She also helps people who are coping with changing life roles, career transitions, chronic health concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Parenting is a regularly mentioned focus area in her practice. Sirribi draws on practical therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions include guided conversation, skill practice, and short exercises meant to be used between meetings.

Progress is reviewed collaboratively during the work. People who reach out with questions about adoption, attachment, ADHD, or body image often find concrete tools to try. She supports those facing separation, commitment worries, and other relationship stresses.

The tone of her work is calm, direct, and respectful.

Online support

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Sirribi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also uses client-centered and mindfulness-influenced techniques to make sessions feel collaborative and grounded. During intake she and the client discuss goals and preferences, then choose approaches together. The therapist will check in and adapt methods based on what is most helpful for the person over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let clients send thoughts between meetings or use written check-ins on a flexible timeline. These options make it easier to use therapy around work, childcare, and other commitments.
