   About Sirpa

   Sirpa Cossaboon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and LPC-MH with ten years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She encourages clients to take the first step and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sirpa speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania.

   In sessions she focuses on listening first and learning what matters most to each person. She draws from approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape practical steps and small changes. Conversations are aimed at clarifying values, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming symptoms.

   Sirpa often works with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, body image, control, and communication problems. She also addresses life transitions like divorce or midlife change, and challenges such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. Her work includes attention to guilt, shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

   Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people set concrete goals and practice skills between sessions. Sessions emphasize real-world strategies people can use right away.

2. How therapy approaches translate to online work

   Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation step by step. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clear barriers and set workable goals that matter to the client.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed actions toward them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and feelings of stuckness by combining acceptance of tough thoughts with simple behavioral strategies.
   
   Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotions. It can help people understand fears around abandonment, improve communication, and work through patterns that keep repeating.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and may adjust techniques as progress is made.
   
   If you plan to try online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, camera use, and the type of session that fits your routine.
