About Sibi
Sibi Selvarajah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with six years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and addictions. He also helps with relationship and family concerns such as intimacy issues, communication problems, and codependency.
Sibi focuses on how cultural background and systemic issues affect day-to-day life. He pays attention to how discrimination and multicultural experiences shape a person's reactions and choices. That perspective shows up in how he listens and asks about a client's life context.
He helps people look at deeper patterns like attachment and trauma. Sessions often involve noticing repeated behaviors in relationships, including people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. He also supports people navigating divorce, grief, and shifts in identity.
Sibi works with sexual health and alternative sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, alongside concerns about addictions, eating and food-related issues, and HIV/AIDS. He also addresses life stressors such as financial strain and cancer-related challenges when they affect wellbeing.
His approach is collaborative and person-centered. He helps clients build insight and practical strategies for daily life. To get started, people follow the online intake steps and schedule a first session through the service button provided.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to help with symptoms and patterns. For example, approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior teach straightforward skills for managing anxiety and low mood. These methods break problems into smaller steps and practice new responses in daily life.Another common set of techniques looks at attachment and relational patterns. These help people notice how early or repeated relationship habits affect current choices, such as people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries. Working on these patterns can involve reflective conversation and trying new ways of relating between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-focused plan, exploring relational patterns, or combining elements from different techniques.
Details about specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to regular life so therapy fits around daily responsibilities rather than requiring a complete schedule change.
