About Sirribi
Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice in New York. She holds MA LICSW and CO LCSW credentials and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Her approach blends practical tools with steady support so clients can make small, manageable shifts.
She prioritizes cultural humility and listens for each person’s story and background. Sessions emphasize strengths and what is already working, while also naming patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sirribi uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people reduce distress and act in line with their values. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, skill-building, and gentle challenges when needed. She draws from acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
The pace is collaborative and adjusted to each person’s comfort level. Sirribi also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and long-term health or disability concerns that affect daily life.
Her work is practical and goal oriented without rushing progress. People who want to better manage anger, cope with life transitions, or rebuild a sense of self often find the sessions useful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.

How online approaches and tools support change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions feel strong. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflection so people feel understood and can explore their own solutions at their own pace.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she will blend techniques and adjust methods so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how to meet. Video calls let people work face to face when deeper discussion or visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, in-the-moment coping, or for people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions into busy schedules.
