About Alexandra
Alexandra Irish is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with six years of experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and anger. Alexandra also helps people facing life transitions and addiction-related concerns.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and handling relationship strain. People are invited to try techniques in-session and then use them in daily life.
Alexandra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. She also uses Client-Centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person's goals, and she brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into planning change.
In her work she pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family stress, and the effects of caregiver burden. She supports people coping with co-occurring problems such as addiction, impulsivity, and obsessive behaviors. Her approach is practical and focused on building skills that reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Sessions move at a steady pace. Alexandra helps people set clear, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. She asks about what is working and adjusts the approach when clients need a different focus.
Therapeutic approaches used and what they do
Alexandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed stress and anger. CBT is practical and often involves homework between sessions to try new ways of thinking or acting. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing to support steady progress.
