About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is an LMSW with 15 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, parenting concerns, grief, and challenges that arise when life changes. She also focuses on ADHD, family problems, and blended family issues brought on by new household arrangements.
She has worked in private practice and community settings since 2008. Her background includes supporting people with PTSD, mood disorders, autism spectrum challenges, and behavior concerns. Irene has worked directly on crisis intervention, trauma-related problems, parenting difficulties, foster care and adoption issues, and self-harming behavior.
Her approach is practical and grounded. Irene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and adjust everyday routines. She draws on Mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity and Trauma-Focused ideas to address past hurt when needed.
Irene favors straightforward conversations about what’s getting in the way and what small steps could change things. She looks for strengths and existing skills people already have. Sessions aim to clarify goals, test changes, and build manageable coping skills for daily life.
People often come to her when parenting feels overwhelming, grief is persistent, or stress and anxiety make routine tasks harder. She explains options in clear terms and helps people choose the next step that fits their situation.
How Irene’s approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing small changes between meetings, and reviewing progress together. This can help with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. In remote sessions this often looks like short guided exercises and coaching on using mindfulness during stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation through focused conversation and practical planning.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what feels useful. This is a collaborative process where techniques are picked to fit the client’s situation and preferences.

Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel. Ask about the available formats so sessions can be arranged to match daily routines and communication needs.
