How Sirribi works
Sirribi also helps people address issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns. She pays attention to how adoption history, attachment, and past losses shape current patterns. Sirribi uses a mix of approaches that fit each person’s needs.
Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are paired with client-centered listening and solution-focused planning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may be used to help clients notice difficult thoughts while moving toward values-based goals. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based.
She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what works. Cultural humility is part of her practice - she listens for how background and identity affect the concerns someone brings.
Therapy with Sirribi can address practical life areas like parenting stress, career transition, or caregiving strain, as well as diagnostic and behavioral challenges such as ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and chronic illness. Her aim is to help people build tools that fit their daily lives and goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sirribi frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. She also draws on client-centered therapy to provide empathic listening and to set goals that matter to the person seeking help. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clients identify values and take action even when difficult feelings are present.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which combination of strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper discussion, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins by message or chat can fit between busy days. These formats let people access care from different locations and fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving commitments.
