About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is an LMSW with 15 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and parenting challenges. Her background includes community and private practice settings, and she commonly supports people managing stress, grief, anger, relationship strain and ADHD.
Irene describes practical, skills-based work. She uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and build momentum.
She has extensive experience addressing traumatic experiences and crisis intervention. Her work has involved adoption and foster care challenges, attachment issues, and problems linked to family of origin. Irene also has significant experience with Autism spectrum presentations, mood disorders, and behavior concerns.
Irene emphasizes understanding each person's circumstances and the factors that contribute to their current difficulties. Sessions typically focus on identifying coping strategies, improving day-to-day functioning, and reducing distressing symptoms. She pays attention to strengths and practical resources a person already has.
People often come for help with life transitions such as career changes, caregiving strain, divorce, or adjusting after loss. Irene also supports those dealing with impulsivity, control issues, and co-occurring concerns. The aim is steady progress through clear, manageable steps.
How Irene uses evidence-based approaches online
Many of her approaches translate into clear, step-by-step work online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices that can lower stress and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method for clarifying values and strengthening commitment to change, useful for career shifts, caregiving fatigue, or managing impulsivity.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Expect a mix of discussion, short between-session exercises, and concrete goal-setting rather than only talk about feelings.
Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so sessions fit around classes, work, or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals will also discuss which approaches and session lengths suit daily life and goals.
