Sirpa Cossaboon, LPC, LPC-MH

Sirpa Cossaboon is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step easier for someone who is nervous about starting therapy. She has ten years of professional experience and holds LPC and LPC-MH credentials.

In sessions she creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps and clear strategies clients can try between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and values-based work to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Attachment-based ideas inform her approach to relationship concerns and to patterns that began in earlier life. She also draws on client-centered and existential perspectives to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values. The result is a blend of evidence-informed tools and straightforward conversation.

Sirpa explains options, then collaborates on goals and homework. Sessions often include skill practice, thought tracking, and experiments to test new behaviors. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and notices small wins along the way.

Her practice serves people in Pennsylvania and she conducts sessions in English. She offers multiple remote formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. Signing up begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Sirpa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT emphasizes present-moment focus and flexible action based on what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns or early connection wounds show up in current life. This approach looks at how past bonds affect present reactions and supports developing different ways of relating. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work; Sirpa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins and ongoing practice between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
