About Iréné

Iréné Celcer is a bilingual psychotherapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and topics related to LGBT identity. She practices from a place of respect and sensitivity and speaks both English and Spanish.

She trained in New York, California, and Argentina and is licensed in Georgia as a clinical social worker - Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Social Worker (CSW).

Background and approach

Her three decades of practice inform a steady, experienced approach to complex problems. Sessions are shaped to match each persons pace and needs. In sessions she blends psychodynamic ideas with mindfulness and client-centered conversation.

That means she pays attention to early patterns and feelings, teaches tools for staying present, and centers the client's experience when deciding what to try. She also uses solution-focused strategies to address immediate problems. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

She aims to avoid labels and helps clients find practical ways to live more comfortably in their bodies and lives. People who prefer a respectful, culturally aware clinician may find her background useful. Iréné invites clients to be active partners in planning treatment.

She emphasizes clear dialogue about goals, and adjusts approaches as progress unfolds.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and work on safer ways of relating and connecting to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and priorities. In video or phone sessions she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them steer the direction of each meeting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to stay present and manage overwhelming thoughts or urges. These tools can be practiced between sessions and adapted to text or live chat check-ins when helpful. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions let people talk when on the go, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still working with licensed professionals.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
