Sirribi Atanga, LICSW, LCSW

Sirribi Atanga is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with eight years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and grief. Sirribi also works with issues like parenting strain, sleep problems, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She keeps sessions practical and focused on what is happening now. Conversations often cover coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to manage intense emotions like anger. She draws on straightforward methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses in daily life.

Sirribi emphasizes cultural humility and pays attention to each person’s background. That means she listens for how culture, identity, and life context shape feelings and behavior. She also uses a strengths-based lens to identify reliable skills a person already has.

Her work uses several therapy approaches that are explained together in session. Clients can expect a mix of goal-oriented planning and present-moment awareness exercises. The focus is on finding manageable steps that fit into busy schedules.

People who come for help often bring complex histories such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, chronic illness, or experiences of abandonment. She addresses those topics alongside more common problems like body image, codependency, and communication difficulties. Sessions aim for clear strategies and realistic next steps.

Sirribi uses clinical tools to address mood differences including bipolar presentations and disruptive mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with separation, divorce, and the emptiness that can follow major life changes.
