Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support while helping the person clarify values and goals. This approach can be particularly useful for stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions where validation and understanding are important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, coping with change, and improving daily functioning.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Irene works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats therapy as a collaborative effort, adjusting techniques as progress is made and as priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support during life changes. The different formats also allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
