About Alexandra
Alexandra Irish is a licensed clinician based in Colorado who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Alexandra draws on six years of clinical experience to support people dealing with depression, trauma, and major life changes.
She keeps sessions practical and focused. Alexandra helps clients build clearer communication skills and stronger coping strategies.
Background and approach
She also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and substance-related problems when they affect day-to-day life. Her work often combines client-centered listening with structured techniques. That means clients get a compassionate space to talk and practical tools to try between sessions.
She uses cognitive behavioral tools to sort out thinking patterns and dialectical behavior ideas to manage intense emotions. Alexandra pays attention to how people’s past relationships and family backgrounds continue to affect them today. She helps people untangle family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress so they can make different choices now.
Her approach also includes motivational techniques when someone is trying to change habits related to addiction or health. Sessions are offered in English and provided online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Alexandra aims to work together with each person to set realistic goals and practical steps toward feeling more stable and competent.

How approaches like CBT and DBT translate to online care
Alexandra often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and understood; it helps people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, which is useful for anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and it can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra collaborates with each client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and practical for what the person wants to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a session that feels most like in-person work. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, between-session support, or scheduling around busy days. These options help make therapy more accessible for people balancing parenting, work, or other commitments.
