About Irene
Irene Kyprianides is a licensed master social worker who uses clear, practical methods to help people move forward. She brings 15 years of experience and focuses on making change feel possible. Irene speaks plainly and aims to make sessions understandable for worried parents and busy adults.
She leans on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas appear in sessions when they fit the person's goals.
Irene has worked in private practice and community settings since 2008. Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, autism spectrum differences, fetal alcohol spectrum concerns, and behavior challenges. She has also done extensive work in crisis intervention, trauma work, parenting challenges, and issues tied to foster care and adoption.
Her approach starts by listening to the whole story and noting real strengths people already have. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit day-to-day life. Irene aims to help people manage stress, cope with grief and loss, handle anger, and build better coping for ADHD, burnout, and life transitions.
She accepts clients from Michigan and also works with international clients in English. People who want to try therapy begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions based on available times.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Motivational Interviewing helps people identify personal reasons to change and build motivation one step at a time; it uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen commitment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That conversation guides which approaches are emphasized, and adjustments are made as progress and needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that virtual sessions let them use therapy tools in the moments they matter most, while still keeping the focus on practical steps and motivation. -
