Alexandra Irish, LPC, LMFT

Alexandra Irish is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist practicing in Colorado. She holds LPC and LMFT credentials and brings six years of clinical experience. Alexandra focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting stress.

Clients who work with Alexandra can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. She listens first and helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between meetings, such as communication techniques and emotion regulation tools.

Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix helps her tailor care to what each person needs. She adapts strategies to the problem at hand rather than offering one fixed plan.

Her experience includes supporting people dealing with blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, substance problems, and complications that come with co-occurring conditions. She also works with concerns like infidelity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar symptoms, and impulsivity.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Alexandra helps clients build self-compassion, stronger communication, and steady coping skills so they can move forward with more confidence.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on small changes that can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or adapt techniques that fit your situation. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for in-depth sessions, phone for lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat for quick exchanges, and text messaging for brief check-ins or homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills between sessions.
