About Irene

Irene Kyprianides uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients address practical problems and emotional challenges. With 15 years of clinical experience, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused methods to tailor interventions to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Irene emphasizes understanding the context behind symptoms and works from a strengths-based perspective that looks beyond diagnostic labels to practical coping skills and meaningful change. Her background includes work in independent practice and community settings across Michigan, with experience addressing anxiety, PTSD, depression and mood disorders, autism spectrum needs, and behavior challenges.

She has received extensive training in crisis intervention, trauma-focused care, and parenting strategies, and applies these skills when supporting people facing grief, relationship strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and life transitions. As an LMSW she prioritizes collaborative goal-setting and helping clients build sustainable tools for managing stress and improving daily functioning.

Approach-Based Online Care for Practical Change

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and daily stressors. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and calming practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel stuck or ambivalent by exploring values and enhancing intrinsic motivation to make meaningful changes.

Irene collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best for their situation and goals. She views treatment as a joint process of discovering helpful strategies and adjusting techniques over time, so clients can expect the plan to evolve based on what proves most useful for them.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to integrate therapy into busy lives and to continue work on skills between sessions, while keeping the focus on practical tools and progress.
