About Sibi
Sibi Selvarajah is an LCSW who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. He works with individuals who are having trouble with family conflict, intimacy, and communication. He aims to create a welcoming, culturally responsive space where people feel seen and respected.
He centers his work on collaboration and meeting clients where they are. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going, like attachment wounds, codependency, and difficult relationship habits. He also supports people during major life changes such as divorce, grief, and identity shifts.
Sibi pays attention to how culture, discrimination, and systems affect daily life and mental health. That perspective shapes the conversations in session and how goals are set. He listens for how stress shows up in routines, relationships, and choices, then works with each person to try different ways of responding.
He offers help with sexual health topics, including BDSM and kink and other alternative sex cultures, as well as issues tied to eating, substance use, and impulse control. When cancer, HIV/AIDS, or chronic medical concerns are part of the picture, those issues are included in the work rather than treated separately.
People can expect a practical, person-centered approach that builds insight and new skills. Sibi draws on six years of experience in New York to support clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of purpose.
Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Sibi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people notice thought and behavior cycles that feed anxiety and panic, and then practice new responses to reduce avoidance and worry. Another approach explores attachment patterns and relationship habits to improve communication and emotional connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean trying skill-building exercises for a few sessions, then shifting to deeper exploration when it feels useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cutting commute time and letting people schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Remote sessions also allow shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce the need to travel on difficult days.
