About Irish
Irish O'Neal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she works to make conversations feel manageable for a busy parent.
She focuses on tailoring sessions to each person's situation. Irish listens first, then helps set small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims for clear goals that feel realistic and meaningful to the person seeking support. In sessions she practices empathy and direct feedback. That means talking through behaviors, communication patterns, and problem moments so a person can try new ways of handling them.
She also helps parents identify routines and strategies that reduce tension at home. Her background includes a dozen years of professional counseling work in Louisiana as an LPC. Over that time she has supported people through grief and major life changes and helped them rebuild daily rhythms and relationships.
She adapts her language and pace to what each person needs. Irish emphasizes collaboration and practical tools. She helps people set small experiments, notice what changes, and adjust the plan as needed.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches and what online therapy offers
Irish uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical change. One approach helps people examine communication and behavior patterns to reduce conflict and improve interactions; this is useful for relationship tensions and family disagreements. Another approach focuses on coping strategies for grief and strong emotions, teaching ways to manage intense feelings and rebuild daily routines after loss.Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. Sessions start with listening and then testing small changes so approaches can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency while juggling parenting and other responsibilities.
