About Alexandra

Alexandra Irish is a licensed therapist practicing in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. She combines a practical, skills-focused orientation with an emphasis on empathy to help people work through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Holding LPC and LMFT credentials, she draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques to support clients facing life transitions, addiction concerns, intimacy and parenting challenges, and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions. Her style balances active interventions with warm, client-centered listening to foster self-compassion and clearer communication.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, tools to manage symptoms, and attention to family and interpersonal patterns when relevant. Alexandra also addresses complex presentations including co-morbidity, codependency, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, caregiver stress, and issues arising from divorce, infidelity, or blended family situations.

The practice offers multiple session formats to fit varied schedules, and Alexandra works with each person to build practical coping strategies, enhance resilience, and support longer-term personal growth.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Alexandra frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors, a useful fit for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy elements, offering empathetic listening and validation to create space for clients to explore values and build self-compassion. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or impulsivity.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts interventions over time so the work remains relevant and manageable. Clients can expect joint decision-making about which techniques to try and gradual skill-building tailored to their situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make care more accessible across schedules. These options let clients use therapy from home or while traveling within the therapist's service area, and they support ongoing practice between scheduled appointments.
