Approaches for online therapy and collaborative care



Sirribi often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-acceptance - it supports growth in areas like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and identity exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often applied for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Sirribi works with each person to weigh different approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods as therapy progresses to find what works best for the individual. She tailors interventions rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for scheduling and for engaging in therapy from familiar settings. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are in a convenient format.
