About Advaitha
Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience working in mental health, rehabilitation and grief. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and loss. She also supports people facing change at work and in life.
She has experience across community, employment and private practice settings. That includes short-term check-ins and longer-term individual counselling. Her background includes rehabilitation counselling and work with people affected by family and domestic violence.
Advaitha uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-informed techniques. Sessions often focus on clear skills and small experiments to test new ways of responding.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and identifying strengths. Conversations commonly lead to concrete strategies for managing anxiety, mood, anger and sleep. Work can include goals for relationships, career and coping with chronic health issues.
She also uses motivational conversations and solution-focused ideas for people ready to make changes. That can mean setting manageable steps, rehearsing new behaviours and tracking progress. Advaitha speaks English and Telugu and works with people who want practical, structured support.
How CBT, ACT and DBT work in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems by breaking problems into small steps and practising new behaviours. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it works well for life changes and chronic stress. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills for strong emotions and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which combination of CBT, ACT or DBT techniques to try and how to pace the sessions.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Online sessions can be easier to attend during work breaks or on days when leaving home is difficult. The therapist's specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know which formats are offered and how they fit your schedule.
