Sirpa Cossaboon , LPC, LPC-MH

Sirpa Cossaboon is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and issues with self-esteem. She practices in Pennsylvania and brings ten years of professional experience to her work. Sirpa aims to make the first step into therapy feel doable and respectful of each person's courage.

She keeps sessions simple and direct. Conversations focus on what feels urgent to the client and on small steps that can reduce distress. Sirpa encourages people to name their feelings, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and situations.

Her approach draws on several therapy styles, including cognitive behavioral ideas to test unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and attachment-informed work to understand close relationships. She uses client-centered listening to create space for people to be heard when they talk about painful experiences like abuse or loss.

Sirpa has worked with people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, control and communication problems, and challenges such as body image, abandonment, or midlife change. She offers practical tools for managing symptoms and clearer ways to set boundaries or repair communication.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Sirpa helps clients set goals, practice skills between meetings, and track small gains. The style is respectful, down-to-earth, and focused on helping people get through what feels overwhelming right now.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over time she adjusts techniques based on what helps most, and clients can try different tools to see what fits.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress moving forward.
