About Iris
Iris Tanton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She supports adults confronting stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strain, and family-related problems. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her background includes living and working in the United States and time spent abroad in Spain. That life experience influenced how she thinks about culture, food, and daily routines. She mentions a history in culinary arts and healthy cooking as part of a broader interest in how daily habits affect mood and energy.
In sessions Iris uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thinking patterns, and Mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness. She also draws on Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and identify practical next steps. These methods are applied to concerns like attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and substance use.
Her stated aim is practical work that clarifies patterns and reveals manageable changes. She helps people notice behavior that no longer serves them and experiment with different responses. The focus is on small, usable steps rather than grand promises.
Practical matters are straightforward: therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment using the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions can reproduce that approach by giving space to tell your story and receive careful feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and targets small behavior changes. Online sessions can include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide whether to emphasize mindfulness practices, CBT tasks, narrative rewriting, or a mix of methods based on what fits your situation.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a meeting into a child’s nap, a work break, or a quieter part of the day. Online work also makes it easier to review written exercises, try real-time coping skills, and carry over changes into daily routines without major travel.
