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 experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and major life changes. She also works with issues around addiction, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar mood concerns.
Clients often come for help with family problems, parenting strain, and patterns that trace back to the family they grew up in. Alexandra pays attention to how early roles and expectations still affect everyday choices. She helps people notice those patterns and consider different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the work. Sessions focus on practical skills - for example communication techniques, emotional regulation strategies, and planning for change.
Alexandra tends to work collaboratively. She and the client set goals and try small experiments between sessions. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, caregiving stress, codependency, infidelity, and substance concerns.
She offers care for veterans and those managing co-occurring conditions such as OCD symptoms or impulsivity alongside mood concerns. Prospective clients can expect straightforward, step-by-step conversations about what to try next and how to track progress.
Approaches used in remote sessions and practical fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. It often helps when someone needs space to sort out family roles or relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and try methods that fit the client’s situation. That process is collaborative and can include testing techniques between sessions to see what helps most.
