How Irene's Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then tries new, practical ways to respond. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and build calm in tense moments. This approach pairs well with work on self-esteem and emotional regulation.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps someone find personal reasons to change and strengthen their motivation. It is often used alongside goal-focused methods so action steps feel doable and meaningful. Irene typically combines these approaches based on what a person needs and prefers, and she adjusts the focus over time as goals shift.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for different days and tasks. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
