About Advaitha
Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience in Australia. She has worked in community and private practice settings and with people needing support after injury, loss, or difficult life changes. She sees people for short-term work and longer-term counselling depending on need.
She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression and addictions. Codependency and communication problems are listed among her focus areas. She also supports people affected by trauma, domestic violence, caregiving strain and chronic illness.
Advaitha uses practical strategies in session. Conversations are aimed at identifying strengths and small steps that are manageable day to day. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when helpful. Mindfulness practices are introduced for grounding and managing strong emotions. Sessions balance skills practice with time to talk through recent events and reactions.
People who find themselves prioritising others, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in relationship patterns may find her approach useful. She offers support for career concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem issues and navigating separation. Sessions are offered in English and Telugu.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and people who feel stuck in repeating patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then testing new, practical ways of responding. It often includes homework and short exercises between sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving boundaries and communication, which can help with relationship patterns and impulse-related difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you can try out methods that suit your situation. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions lean more towards skills practice, emotion-focused work or acceptance-based strategies.
The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use written exercises and mindfulness practices between sessions. Ask about current session options to match practical needs with clinical approach.
