How Iréné works
She values sensitivity and compassion in every conversation. Iréné blends several approaches to meet real problems. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
She teaches mindfulness skills to help people manage strong feelings in the moment. She also uses client-centered work so the person stays in charge of their goals and pace. She supports a wide range of concerns from body image and eating struggles to parenting stress, career challenges, gender dysphoria, multicultural issues, and discrimination.
Iréné also works with adoption and foster care topics, aging and caregiver stress, and non-monogamous relationship questions. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping tools.
Iréné aims to help each person feel more grounded in their body and more in control of their choices.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Iréné commonly draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns and long-standing emotional themes; this helps when worry, relationship patterns, or old hurts keep coming back. She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce flash feelings of anxiety or overwhelm and help with eating and body image concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and will suggest ways to combine approaches. That makes the process collaborative and tailored to what you need right now.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you see facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when less bandwidth or hands-free interaction is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or days when typing feels easier. These formats give flexibility to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
