About Iris
Iris Haze is a Texas-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on making conversations feel calm and manageable for someone juggling many demands. Her approach aims to help parents and individuals find practical steps they can try between sessions.
In sessions she creates a welcoming space where people can say what’s on their mind without judgment.
Background and approach
She listens for practical patterns in thoughts and behavior and works together with clients to set realistic goals. Iris blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Her background includes long experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction concerns.
She also addresses work and career stress, financial worries, and life transitions like divorce or blended family challenges. That range comes from years of seeing how related life problems often overlap. Iris often helps clients handle anger, intimacy issues, and feelings of isolation or shame.
She also supports those dealing with chronic illness or caregiving strain, including cancer-related concerns and compassion fatigue. She frames progress as small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. Practical matters are part of her work.
Sessions can focus on communication skills, managing mood swings, and making a plan for parenting stresses. Iris aims to help each person leave a session with at least one clear, doable idea to try before the next meeting.

Approaches Iris lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps them name feelings, and supports self-directed goals; this is useful for people who need space to be heard and understood.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful patterns that affect parenting, work, or relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Iris will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and daily life, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps set clear, achievable steps rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you talk face to face when you want deeper conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or logging progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other commitments while using the approaches above in practical ways.
