About Sirribi

Sirribi Atanga is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting issues, career changes, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other life adjustments.

Sirribi uses straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. She pays attention to cultural background and personal history while noticing strengths people already have. Sessions involve setting clear goals and trying small changes between meetings to test what helps.

Her background includes practice across a range of concerns such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication or control struggles. She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation and disruptive mood symptoms.

The approaches Sirribi draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused work. That means she mixes talking about thoughts and behaviors with present-moment skills and clear problem-solving steps.

People can expect a collaborative relationship where the therapist listens, offers experiments to try, and adjusts based on what proves helpful. Her practice is based in New York and sessions are offered in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. Online sessions using ACT help people clarify what matters most and practice small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests new ways of responding. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises and behavioral experiments between sessions to track what changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sirribi will discuss options, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a person’s goals, comfort level, and daily routines.

The practical benefits of working with a licensed clinician online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to follow through with short check-ins or skill practice during a lunch break, and they can be arranged to suit different schedules. Confirm the current session formats and technical details before booking so arrangements match your needs.
