About Sibi
Sibi Selvarajah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and addictions. He also supports adults facing family conflict, intimacy-related issues, and communication problems.
He pays attention to how culture and identity affect daily life. That means he notices discrimination, systemic pressures, and multicultural experiences when they matter to the person in front of him. He aims to be inclusive and attentive to diverse backgrounds.
Sibi often works with people who want to understand attachment patterns, codependency, or struggles with self-worth. He also supports those coping with divorce, grief, major life transitions, and questions about life purpose. He can address concerns related to sexual health, process addictions, eating and food issues, and medical challenges such as cancer or HIV/AIDS.
Sessions are collaborative and person-centered. Conversations typically focus on practical ways to improve communication, reduce impulsive reactions, and manage control issues. He also helps people think through forgiveness, boundaries, and rebuilding trust after infidelity.
People who choose his practice can expect direct, straightforward conversations about behaviors and patterns. The work tends to combine exploring personal history with concrete steps to reduce symptoms and restore coping. For those who need guidance with family-related strains or intimacy questions, he offers clear, experience-based support.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Many clinicians draw on evidence-based techniques that focus on current patterns and practical change. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts and behaviors keep distress going and teach specific skills to manage anxiety and depression. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize how past bonds affect how they relate now, which can be useful for family and intimacy concerns.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That means approaches may shift as clients test new tools and notice what changes their daily life.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, provide a way to check in without commuting, and allow shorter or more frequent contacts when needed. They can also make it simpler to attend during work breaks, manage appointments around caregiving, or avoid camera use when that makes a session easier to do. Licensed professionals can explain available formats and help choose the arrangement that works best.
