About Advaitha

Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience working in mental health, rehabilitation and psychosocial support in Australia. She has worked with young people and adults in community, employment and private practice settings. Her work covers short-term and longer-term individual counselling.

Advaitha focuses on common early-adulthood pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and issues related to identity and intimacy. Practical problems like sleep, eating, career direction and parenting are part of her caseload.

Her stated style is person-centred and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on building trust and recognising strengths. In sessions she helps people develop concrete strategies they can use between meetings. That might mean practicing new ways to manage anxiety, building communication skills, or setting small steps toward a goal.

Advaitha draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. She uses these methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.

She is experienced supporting transitions and adjustment after setbacks, injuries or losses. People typically work with her to improve everyday functioning, increase confidence and manage stressors that come with study, first jobs and new relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and Telugu. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site's booking flow.

How Advaitha uses approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values. It can help when someone feels stuck making decisions or struggling with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and improve sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Advaitha will discuss how different methods could fit the client's goals and preferences and will make choices together with the client. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to immediate problems like exam stress or longer-term patterns such as avoidance and relationship difficulties.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study or early career hours, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Discussing goals and practicalities at the first appointment helps make sessions useful and manageable alongside everyday commitments.
