About Sirpa
Sirpa draws on ten years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns. She focuses on building trust so people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Conversations in sessions are practical and goal-focused, while also attending to emotions and personal values.
Her approach mixes techniques from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive-behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction. Sessions are guided by what each person needs in the moment.
Sirpa holds licenses in Pennsylvania and Delaware as a Licensed Professional Counselor, including LPC-MH. She helps people clarify goals, practice new skills, and try different ways of responding to stress. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that fit into daily life.
If you want a steady clinician who listens and helps you make practical changes, Sirpa offers a direct, compassionate style and ten years of experience to support that work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. Online ACT sessions help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behavior changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In an online session, CBT often uses straightforward exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online work with attachment ideas can help people see recurring patterns and experiment with different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sirpa treats the choice of method as collaborative and will help you figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you can adjust methods as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to use resources and worksheets between meetings and to try skills in real-life contexts soon after a session.
