About Sirpa

Sirpa Cossaboon is a licensed counselor with a decade of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed tools to help clients understand difficult emotions, rebuild resilience, and find clearer direction during times of uphe. Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, communication struggles, and panic symptoms.

Sirpa creates a warm, nonjudgmental setting where clients are invited to explore their thoughts and feelings at a comfortable pace. She integrates Internal Family Systems with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered principles, and cognitive strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Licensed in Pennsylvania (LPC PC018612) and Delaware (LPC-MH PC-0011859), she emphasizes collaboration and practical steps toward goals while honoring the emotional complexities that accompany healing. Sirpa encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and supports them through the scheduling and matching process.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people explore inner parts and their relationships to one another, fostering self-compassion and clearer internal leadership during emotional difficulty. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, accepting uncomfortable experiences, and committing to meaningful actions to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relational patterns and early attachment experiences, helping clients understand how past bonds shape current connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques from IFS, ACT, or attachment-informed work as therapy unfolds. This partnership helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, address challenges as they arise, and access therapeutic tools without travel, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor sessions to each client’s pace and circumstances.
