About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and related concerns such as grief, anger, and ADHD. She also addresses career strain and adjustment to life changes.
Her practice focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to a problem. She spends time hearing what is happening at home and what makes daily life harder. Sessions include practical strategies to manage strong emotions and reduce avoidance. Irene uses clear, direct techniques to help people handle panic, low mood, or the fallout of past trauma.
Irene draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when traumatic events are central to a person's difficulties. Motivational Interviewing helps with readiness to change, and Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on immediate goals.
She has worked in private practice and community-based settings since 2008. That background includes crisis intervention, parenting interventions, and work with adoption and foster care situations. She has experience with autism spectrum concerns, mood disorders, and self-harming behaviors.
In sessions, Irene aims to build practical skills and routines that people can use between visits. She tends to a strengths-based stance, noticing resources the person already has. This helps guide steps toward clearer decision making and steadier days.
How sessions work
How Irene’s approaches translate to online sessions
Irene often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try small behavior experiments. CBT sessions typically include practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change daily routines.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are causing ongoing distress. This approach addresses how trauma affects reactions and coping, and it includes techniques to help reduce reactivity and reclaim daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Irene will talk with the person about goals, daily demands, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try, and they check in to adjust the plan as progress or needs change.
