How Iris works
She also works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, anger, and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions. Iris uses straightforward methods that focus on the person in front of her. Client-Centered Therapy guides the conversation so people feel heard.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers tools to notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. She also attends to everyday pressures like parenting strain, career stress, money problems, and blended family issues. Additional areas of focus include divorce and separation, communication problems, domestic violence, and the impact of cancer on family life.
Forgiveness, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation are part of her work too. Iris aims to make sessions useful and practical. She helps set small goals, practices skills in session, and checks progress.

How Iris blends client-centered and CBT approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. In this approach the therapist reflects what is said and helps people name their feelings so they feel understood and less alone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying thought patterns that contribute to distress and practicing small changes in thinking and behavior to improve mood and functioning.Iris approaches therapy as a shared process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying different strategies together, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send notes, keep a running conversation, or check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
