How Irene works
Her approach is adaptable to each person’s situation. In sessions she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She blends that with acceptance and commitment methods that encourage clear values and useful actions.

That might mean short-term strategies for stress or longer work on trauma and coping skills.

Online support options
Approach and online care that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where finding direction matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical for stress, mood challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and many day-to-day problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It can help people improve trust, intimacy, and ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few tools and adjusting as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
