About Sibi
Sibi Selvarajah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with six years of clinical experience. He works with people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns including family and intimacy-related issues. Sessions focus on real-world problems and practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Sibi pays attention to how culture, identity, and systemic factors affect everyday life. He brings that awareness into conversations about shame, self-worth, and how past relationships influence current connections. This background informs work around attachment issues and codependency.
He helps people facing big life changes such as divorce, grief, and shifts in identity. He also supports clients dealing with substance use, process addictions, eating and food-related concerns, and health-related stress like cancer or living with HIV/AIDS.
Sibi offers direct, collaborative sessions that aim to build clarity and new coping options. He focuses on improving communication, managing impulses, and addressing control issues that show up in relationships or daily routines.
For those exploring intimacy and sexual culture, he provides nonjudgmental space to talk about BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. He also addresses infidelity, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose in practical ways.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here focus on approaches that help with anxiety, relationships, and coping skills. One approach emphasizes building awareness of attachment patterns and how they affect present relationships; it helps people notice repeating habits and try different ways of connecting. Another approach concentrates on practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, offering step-by-step strategies to manage symptoms and reduce overwhelm during daily life.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Sibi will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and current concerns. That collaboration includes reviewing what has worked before and adjusting techniques as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Online meetings can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or longer sessions when deeper issues are the focus. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises and skills practice so they work well in a remote format, and Sibi will help tailor sessions to fit everyday life.
