About Irene
She keeps language direct and practical in sessions. Irene uses an adapted mix of approaches instead of a single method. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy, with a client-centered emphasis on each person’s priorities.
Irene has worked in a range of settings and with many kinds of life challenges. That background informs how she helps people cope with things like addiction, chronic illness, and major life changes. She also addresses issues around attachment, caregiving stress, and aging concerns.
Therapy with her is collaborative. Clients set goals and steer the work while she offers guidance, feedback, and concrete exercises. Irene stresses compassion, humility, and respect as the tone of the room.
People who come for help with anger or mood concerns can expect practical strategies to manage impulses and rebuild relationships. She also supports folks dealing with grief, trauma, and identity or self-esteem struggles. If someone is ready to begin, she invites them to take the first step and explore whether her style fits their needs.

How therapy approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger when people want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which can help with mood instability and anger management.Irene sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and decide together what fits best. The plan can change over time based on what helps most and what a person prefers.
Confirm the current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in her biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use techniques and exercises in the context of their everyday routine, so progress happens between sessions as well as during them.
