About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, parenting concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Irene has worked in private practice and community-based settings since 2008. Her background includes working with PTSD, mood disorders, autism spectrum presentations, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, and behavior concerns. She has substantial experience in crisis intervention and responses to traumatic events.
Her clinical approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused work help people set realistic goals and find small, workable steps toward them.
Irene also brings experience supporting people facing foster care or adoption-related stresses, family of origin difficulties, caregiver strain, and control or impulsivity issues. She pays attention to strengths and practical skills that can reduce day-to-day pressure. Conversations include concrete strategies and clear next steps rather than abstract theory.
To begin, she asks about the circumstances that led someone to seek help and what they want to change. That information guides which methods are used and what a short-term plan might look like. The emphasis is on clear, manageable tools people can try between sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more practical responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it breaks problems into smaller, manageable steps.Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention-based skills to reduce reactivity and notice internal experiences without acting on them. It can help with impulsivity, anger, and ongoing anxiety by strengthening the ability to pause before responding.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational method that helps clarify what matters to someone and increases motivation for change. It pairs well with goal-focused work when someone wants to address habits, career choices, or parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will review the client's situation, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not enumerate them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing format and scheduling during the intake helps match sessions to practical life constraints and therapeutic aims.
