She has spent two decades helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other painful life problems. She aims to make the first step feel safer and less uncertain for anyone reaching out. Her approach is warm and respectful. She offers unconditional positive regard and listens without judgment. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in the chair and on practical next steps they can try between meetings. Irene blends approaches to match each person's needs. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help with emotional regulation and patterns that cause trouble. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused ideas to help people make values-based decisions and set manageable goals. Her background includes work across varied clinical settings with people facing trauma, mood concerns, addiction, relationship strain, chronic illness, and life transitions. This variety shapes a flexible style that adapts to different life situations rather than using one fixed method. People who come for help can expect a collaborative stance. Irene treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps plan steps toward change. She frames therapy as a partnership aimed at finding hope, building coping skills, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another and offers structured tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood dysregulation and anger. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Irene will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She treats clients as partners and adapts techniques based on what is most helpful in session. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting care into a busy week, reducing travel time, and keeping consistent contact with a therapist while juggling work and family demands. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a break, use less travel time, or continue therapy through life changes, while the therapist and client work together to shape a plan that fits daily life.
