Alexandra Irish, LPC, LMFT - Therapist in Colorado

About Alexandra

Alexandra Irish is a licensed therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and practices in Colorado. Alexandra draws on six years of clinical experience to guide clients through hard moments and transitions.

She focuses on practical skills that people can use between sessions. That often means learning ways to manage intense emotions, practice clearer communication, and set healthier boundaries.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a steady, realistic pace so clients can try new approaches without feeling overwhelmed. Her background includes work with trauma recovery, coping with life changes, and addiction-related concerns. She also addresses family-related struggles, parenting issues, intimacy-related concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar.

Alexandra combines evidence-based methods to tailor each plan to a person’s situation. In therapy she emphasizes self-compassion and skill building. Clients typically work on improving coping strategies and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life.

She uses straightforward, collaborative feedback to help people notice small shifts that add up. Alexandra uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. She aims to make therapy clear and useful for people juggling busy lives or facing difficult transitions.

Sessions are offered in English in Colorado.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alexandra uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT focuses on skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness to help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship stress.

She also uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and collaboration. That means the therapist and client decide together which techniques fit best, and goals are adjusted as progress is made. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and Alexandra helps clients weigh options based on their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats allow people to attend from home, fit therapy into busy schedules, and use short check-ins when helpful. The variety of formats supports different needs and learning styles while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
