About Sirpa
Sirpa Cossaboon is a licensed counselor with a decade of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
She draws on a range of therapeutic perspectives to help clients explore patterns that contribute to distress and to develop practical skills for coping and change. Her work also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems, control issues, grief from divorce or separation, and symptoms of panic or post-traumatic stress.
Sirpa emphasizes a collaborative approach in which clients’ thoughts and feelings are welcomed without judgment, and treatment is shaped around each person’s goals and values. Her practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and relational methods to balance skills training with deeper exploration of meaning, identity, and attachment.
Licensed in Pennsylvania (LPC) and Delaware (LPC-MH), she combines practical strategies with a humane therapeutic stance to support clients as they take the often-difficult step toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Sirpa blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to offer both practical symptom-focused tools and strategies that clarify values and foster psychological flexibility. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and panic, while ACT emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action toward personally meaningful goals.She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to explore relational patterns and to create a collaborative atmosphere in sessions. Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process; the therapist works with clients to select techniques and priorities that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, maintain continuity when life is busy, and use different modes of communication depending on comfort and therapeutic aims. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-informed methods like CBT and ACT to remote formats to support ongoing progress.
