About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is an LMSW - a Master of Social Work clinician licensed in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, stress, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Irene has worked in private practice and community settings since 2008. She has substantial experience with anxiety disorders, PTSD, mood disorders, autism spectrum conditions, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, and behavior problems. She has also focused on crisis intervention and self-harm responses.
She uses skills-based approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy. In practice this looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and building coping tools that fit day-to-day life.
Irene pays attention to factors around a person's challenges, such as adoption or foster care history, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, impulsivity, and control issues. Her work includes addressing co-morbidity and overlapping diagnoses.
Typical sessions break down problems into manageable steps. Irene works with clients to set concrete goals and track progress week to week. She explains strategies plainly and practises new skills together in-session so people can try them between meetings.
Using CBT and related methods in online sessions
Many of Irene's core approaches translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing short behavior changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Irene will talk with each person about current struggles, goals, and what has worked before, then suggest one or two methods to try and review progress together. The plan can be adjusted based on results and preferences.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Generally, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, accommodate clients living in different locations, or reduce travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others support longer skill-building sessions, so discuss the most practical arrangement when scheduling.
