Irene Kyprianides

Irene Kyprianides is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She blends practical, down-to-earth care with clear strategies so people can manage stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Irene writes simply and listens closely to understand what’s happening now in a person’s life.

She has worked in private practice and community settings since 2008. That work includes extensive experience with anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, depression, autism spectrum conditions, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and behavior concerns. She also has experience supporting people facing foster care and adoption challenges and those dealing with self-harm and crisis situations.

Irene uses approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits, building mindfulness skills, and addressing trauma when it is part of a problem. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people set clear goals and take practical steps. Irene emphasizes strengths and looks for small changes that add up.

In sessions she takes time to map the factors that contribute to a problem and to create a plan that fits a person’s life. She works with issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, grief, work stress, ADHD-related challenges, and impulsivity. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

People who choose her often want both coping tools and a clearer path forward. Irene aims to be someone who walks alongside clients as they try new strategies and build better routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Mindfulness Therapy teaches mindfulness exercises and simple breath or body awareness practices. These tools can reduce reactivity, help with anger and anxiety, and make it easier to pause before responding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers step-by-step strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build different behaviors that ease symptoms like depression, anxiety, and anger.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about trying new habits, goals, or routines.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Irene will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust methods as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone keep therapy in the same place when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across distance while tailoring tools to each person’s situation.
