About Iréné

Iréné Celcer is a bilingual psychotherapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and the challenges that come with life changes. She works with those facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, career questions, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. She also lists adoption and foster care among her additional focus areas and can offer services in Spanish.

She brings 30 years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Arts and social work credentials: LCSW and CSW. Her background includes education from New York, California, and Argentina, and she has familiarity with cultures from South America and parts of Europe.

Her style blends a few different ways of working. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. She teaches mindfulness practices to help manage emotions. She also uses client-centered and existential perspectives to keep the person’s goals central in therapy.

In sessions she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages people to stay in the lead of their own care and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s pace. Practical tools and reflection are mixed depending on the issue at hand.

Iréné aims to help people reconnect with their bodies and minds when eating, body image, or spiritual struggles are present. She invites clients to co-create treatment steps and to bring their own knowledge of themselves into the work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Iréné uses psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring life patterns and emotional themes that shape current difficulties. This helps when people want to understand where problems began and how old habits repeat in relationships and self-image.

She also teaches mindfulness practices to help people manage overwhelming feelings and stay present in stressful moments. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, binge eating urges, and grounding after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on their goals, pacing, and personal preferences. Decisions are collaborative and revisited as needs change.

The practical benefits of doing therapy online should be confirmed with the therapist, since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Before booking, check which session types are offered and how they can be scheduled to match work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.
