About Irene

Irene Kyprianides brings a cognitive behavioral lens to her therapy work, blending practical strategies with attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact.

Background and approach

She uses CBT alongside mindfulness and motivational techniques to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, grief, and difficulties with attention and impulse control. With 15 years of clinical experience, she draws on both independent practice and community-based work to tailor interventions to each person's situation.

Irene approaches clients from a strengths-based perspective, taking time to understand life circumstances, family histories, and stressors that contribute to current challenges. Her background includes work with parenting struggles, foster care and adoption-related issues, attachment concerns, and neurodevelopmental differences.

Licensed as an LMSW in Michigan, she emphasizes collaboration and practical skills to help people manage mood, cope with transitions, and build resilience in everyday life.

CBT and Mindful Approaches for Online Care

Irene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and skill-building, which can be especially helpful for addressing mood challenges, impulsivity, and everyday coping.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, and draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and clarify personal goals. Mindfulness practices can assist with emotion regulation and stress tolerance, while motivational methods help strengthen commitment to new habits and treatment plans.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to consider goals, preferences, and life context, and then tailor interventions from CBT, mindfulness, or motivational strategies. Practical considerations like session format are part of that discussion to ensure the plan fits daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum while balancing other responsibilities.
