About Iris

Iris Haze brings three decades of clinical experience to her practice in Texas and focuses on helping people who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief, addiction, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She creates space for clients to explore thoughts and feelings openly, supporting them as they pursue clearer goals, better coping strategies, and improved emotional well-being. Iris emphasizes practical skills alongside empathic listening to help clients build resilience and move toward meaningful change.

As an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with extensive experience, she draws on client-centered principles to meet people where they are and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective coping behaviors.

Her areas of attention also include intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, career questions, mood disorders such as bipolar, and situational challenges like blended family dynamics, divorce, caregiving for cancer, and financial stress. Iris offers flexible session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules and supports clients through the process of finding approaches that fit their goals and values.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online



Iris uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often applied for anxiety, mood concerns, stress management, and coping with life changes. She also relies on client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathic listening, validation, and collaboration to create a supportive environment where clients can explore values and goals.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist will work with each person to clarify priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what resonates and what produces progress toward stated goals. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan evolves to fit their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These formats support continuity of care, flexibility in timing, and options for communicating in ways that feel most comfortable for the client.
