How Irene’s Approaches Work Online

Irene draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when working with people who carry persistent anxiety, panic, or distress after difficult events. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses small experiments and practice to change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people make sense of upsetting memories and reduce their hold on daily life through paced, supportive work.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice emotions without being swept away by them. Mindfulness exercises teach simple attention skills that can reduce reactivity and build tolerance for stress. The therapist and client decide together which mix of methods fits the person's needs and goals, adjusting plans as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy caregiving routines, and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a quick update is the goal, or for longer focused sessions when deeper work is needed. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques so therapy fits into everyday life without forcing a single way of working.
