About Advaitha
Advaitha Sriramaneni is an ACA counsellor with three years’ experience supporting people through grief, trauma, stress and big life changes. She practises in Australia and offers individual counselling for adults and young people who need practical tools and steady support. Her manner is warm and person-centred, and she focuses on building trust from the first session.
Advaitha has worked across community services, employment settings and independent practice. She has experience in rehabilitation, adjustment to injury, family and domestic violence, and general mental health.
How Advaitha works
These roles have included short-term check-ins and longer-term counselling, so she is used to tailoring the pace to each person. Her work is trauma-informed and strength-based. She aims to help people understand their reactions, spot what is working, and try small steps that change daily life.
Sessions often include skill-building for coping with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addiction and relationship difficulties. Advaitha draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing and solution-focused brief therapy. She uses these tools to create clear, practical strategies rather than abstract theory.
People come to her for help with career stress, parenting strains, intimacy and identity concerns, ADHD, body image and chronic illness adjustment. She also supports those dealing with separation, domestic violence, codependency and compassion fatigue. Her goal is to help clients gain confidence and greater independence in everyday life.

How clinical approaches shape online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most, then take small actions toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and adjustment to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like worry, sleeplessness or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for strong emotions, anger and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Advaitha will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then recommend a mix of methods. The choice of approach is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques such as mindfulness practice, homework exercises and skills coaching between sessions, which can speed up progress and make changes easier to apply in daily life.
