Irene Jirinzu

Irene Jirinzu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, and the effects of trauma. She writes and listens with respect and compassion. She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor sessions to individual needs.

She draws on mindfulness practices to help slow racing thoughts and ground attention. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral tools to clarify values and change unhelpful habits. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.

Irene takes a client-centered approach that treats people as the experts of their own lives. She works alongside clients to build skills for coping with grief, relationship strain, mood swings, and life transitions. Sessions explore realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes four years of professional clinical experience, with licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Nevada. That experience informs straightforward care for issues such as sleep problems, eating concerns, anger, and self-esteem.

People who reach out can expect clear, calm conversation and a plan that fits their goals. Irene encourages small, manageable changes and supports clients as they try new ways of responding to old problems.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention skills and present-moment awareness. It helps reduce rumination and calm anxious reactions by training attention and breath work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit change.

Irene treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session format options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online work for fitting therapy into busy days, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to continue care during life transitions and to practice new skills between appointments.
