About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is an LMSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Irene focuses on clear, step-by-step work so clients can notice real change between sessions.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test out new behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to calm the body and steady attention during stressful moments. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help people set realistic goals and take small, manageable steps forward.
Irene has worked in private practice and community settings since 2008. That experience includes crisis intervention and addressing self-harming behavior. She also has considerable work with trauma, autism spectrum concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions.
Many people seek her help for parenting challenges, adoption and foster care-related issues, grief, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns that stem from family of origin concerns. She emphasizes strengths and looks for practical ways to reduce daily strain. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward specific, achievable goals.
Clients can expect a calm, straightforward approach. Irene explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t working. Her practice aims to help people build new skills, manage strong emotions, and move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Irene combines cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and test thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which often becomes a focus during online work. Trauma-focused therapy focuses on safely processing difficult experiences and building coping skills to reduce distress over time.She also uses motivational interviewing to identify personal goals and strengthen commitment to change. That method helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to start. Together, these approaches give a mix of short-term goals and deeper processing, and Irene will collaborate with clients to choose what fits best for their needs and preferences.
