Online approaches that meet you where you are

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete alternatives to reduce distress and improve mood. It commonly helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people can explore needs and goals at their own pace.

Irene treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try different strategies until a helpful fit is found. The plan is adjusted over time based on what the person notices is working or not working.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions need less data and can fit a work break, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
