About Alexandra
Alexandra Irish is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, and anger. Alexandra also supports those dealing with life transitions, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles.
She focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep problems going. Then she helps people try different ways of responding and communicating. Expect direct skill practice and real-world steps between appointments.
Alexandra blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses client-centered listening to prioritize what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to reshape thinking and manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques are added when useful to build awareness and strengthen commitment to change.
Her background includes working with veterans and people navigating major life change. She pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and patterns such as codependency or impulsivity. Alexandra also addresses substance-related problems alongside other concerns.
In sessions she works collaboratively to set short-term goals and teach skills you can use right away. If you want straightforward support for anger, relationship strain, or mood symptoms, she helps people try practical strategies and track what works.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Alexandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by changing patterns that lead to unhelpful reactions. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear interpersonal skills, which can be useful for strong feelings and relationship conflict.She also draws on client-centered listening to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client agree on goals, try different techniques, and adjust the approach based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports practicing communication or emotion-regulation skills in real life between meetings. Alexandra will work with clients to choose approaches and session rhythms that suit their daily routines and goals.
