About Irene

Irene Jirinzu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She meets people where they are and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Irene speaks plainly and offers a respectful, compassionate approach to starting therapy.

With four years of professional experience, Irene draws on practical methods to address addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating struggles, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. Irene adapts conversations and plans to match each person's needs instead of using one-size-fits-all solutions.

Her work emphasizes helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions that line up with those values. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to change unhelpful thinking and build steady routines. Attachment-focused ideas guide her when relationship patterns and early bonds show up in current difficulties.

Irene also works with issues like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use challenges. She describes treatment as a team effort where the client helps set goals and choose strategies. This keeps therapy relevant and focused on everyday life.

If you are ready to start, Irene encourages taking that first step and will tailor sessions to your situation. The initial conversations are meant to be clear, practical, and supportive.

How Irene’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-based steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with mood, sleep, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and early bonds that influence how people relate today, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Irene sees finding the right approach as a joint effort. She will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and comfort level. The plan can change over time as progress and needs become clearer, and clients are invited to be active partners in shaping their sessions.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it can reduce travel time and allow scheduling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Online sessions may also make it simpler to check in more frequently with brief conversations when needed. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and which will work best for your schedule.
