About Sibi
Sibi Selvarajah is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction. He also supports individuals facing relationship concerns like family conflict, intimacy challenges, and communication problems. Sibi emphasizes an inclusive, culturally aware approach and aims to build a respectful working relationship with each person.
He focuses on deeper patterns that affect daily life, such as attachment issues, codependency, and questions about self-worth and life purpose. He also assists people during major transitions such as divorce, grief, and cancer-related concerns. Sexual health questions, kink and BDSM topics, and concerns about HIV/AIDS are included in his scope of practice.
Sibi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works collaboratively with clients to find what helps most. He pays attention to how culture, discrimination, and systemic pressures shape feelings and behavior. Sessions are person-centered and paced to meet individual needs.
With six years of clinical experience, Sibi brings practical help for problems like impulsivity, substance use, eating and food-related issues, and struggles with forgiveness. He aims to increase insight and everyday coping skills rather than promise quick fixes.
People who choose him can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult decisions and patterns. He invites clients to set goals together and to experiment with changes that feel doable in daily life.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address common patterns and symptoms. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful relationship patterns like codependency and attachment-related concerns, helping people notice how past experiences shape current reactions and make different choices. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing mood and stress, offering practical strategies people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds. This helps keep work relevant and focused on day-to-day improvements.
If you prefer online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care during life transitions or when finding an in-person appointment is difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and tools to fit new routines and goals.
