Irene Kyprianides, LMSW

Irene Kyprianides is a licensed social worker who centers practical strategies and clear goals in therapy. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, and the many life changes that follow. Irene uses straightforward language and a strengths-based outlook to make therapy feel manageable and useful.

She works with people facing mood challenges such as depression and bipolar issues, and those coping with grief, anger, or compassion fatigue. Parenting strains, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and autism-related challenges are part of her background. Irene also supports people dealing with ADHD, impulsivity, and family-of-origin problems.

Irene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She combines this with Trauma-Focused Therapy when traumatic events are central to a person’s struggles. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help set small, realistic steps and build momentum toward change.

Her experience spans independent practice and community settings, including work with crisis intervention and behavior challenges. She pays attention to how a person’s life context affects symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

People who meet with Irene can expect collaboration on goals and practical tools to try between sessions. She aims to help clients use their strengths and make changes that fit their daily life. If you want a down-to-earth approach that addresses both past trauma and present needs, she offers that perspective in her work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Irene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different responses to stress and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences so they interfere less with daily life.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change, helping people set small goals that matter to them. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful before settling on a plan.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time. The focus online remains the same: practical skills, manageable steps, and attention to past trauma when it matters. Irene adapts techniques so they work in whatever session setup you choose.
