About Sirpa
Sirpa Cossaboon is a licensed counselor practicing in Pennsylvania. She has 10 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first step easier and encourages people who are nervous about reaching out.
She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Conversations are straightforward and guided by the person's goals.
How Sirpa works
The therapist listens closely and helps clients name patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Sirpa uses practical tools to address anxiety and mood concerns. She draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new actions, and connect with their values.
These methods are adapted to each person's pace and needs. When trauma or past hurt is part of the picture, sessions move carefully and at a pace the person can manage. Work often includes learning ways to reduce strong reactions and to rebuild a sense of safety in daily life.
She also supports people dealing with relationship wounds, attachment concerns, and life transitions like divorce or midlife change. That work can include improving communication, addressing control issues, and making choices that fit a clearer sense of purpose. Sirpa holds LPC and LPC-MH credentials and speaks English.
She offers conversational, goal-focused care with an emphasis on practical steps and steady progress.

Online support options
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and turning values into everyday steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and worry. It often uses simple exercises and homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns from close relationships that affect current connections and trust, which can help with relationship wounds, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match the person's goals, and adapt as needed. That collaborative process makes it easier to find what helps in real life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins work well via text, and live chat can be a shorter, focused option. These formats provide flexibility for busy schedules and help people keep steady progress without extra travel.
