About Alexandra
Alexandra Irish is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting challenges.
Alexandra aims to help people manage life transitions and develop clearer communication skills. She uses straightforward methods to support people dealing with grief, separation, blended family tensions, and caregiver strain. Sessions include practical tools rather than long lectures.
Her work draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thinking, mood shifts, impulsivity, and self-destructive patterns. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are added when useful.
She has experience with substance use and addiction concerns, co-morbidity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar mood issues, and problems that stem from family of origin. Veterans and people connected to the armed forces are also mentioned among her experience areas.
Alexandra tends to take a practical, collaborative stance in sessions. People can expect to talk through immediate stressors, try specific coping strategies, and track small changes over time. The focus is on clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning rather than labeling or long-term theory talk.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions fit into care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to help clarify goals and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for regulating strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Alexandra will work with the person to try techniques and adjust what is used based on needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That may mean combining strategies from different approaches over time. Confirm the session formats available before booking so arrangements match daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use a phone session when internet bandwidth is limited. Talk with her about scheduling and preferred session length so therapy can be adapted to everyday routines.
