About Alexandra
Alexandra Irish is a licensed therapist who brings six years of experience to her practice in Colorado. She holds LPC and LMFT credentials and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing life transitions and challenges with addiction or bipolar symptoms.
Her sessions aim to build practical skills. She helps clients learn communication techniques, manage strong emotions, and make small changes that add up.
Mindfulness and grounding skills are woven into many appointments to help reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing methods are used to explore change when substance use or ambivalence shows up.
Alexandra emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered style. That means she listens first, and then together with the person sets goals.
She adapts tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to match needs and preferences. The approach is direct but steady, with attention to safety and pacing.
She has experience with family and parenting concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and divorce or separation. Other areas she addresses include codependency, impulsivity, infidelity, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Veteran and armed forces issues are also listed among her areas of focus. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, giving people space to set goals and guide the work. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathic partner to sort through feelings and decide what to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and unwanted behavior cycles. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which helps when impulsivity or strong reactions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and concerns, then suggest methods that fit their situation. Together they adjust strategies over time so the work stays useful and realistic for the person’s schedule and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people meet face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a session must fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coping prompts, and ongoing encouragement between longer meetings.
