About Iris
Iris Tanton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Iris speaks English and Spanish and draws on her varied life experience when she meets clients.
She was raised in the US as a first-generation Latin woman and also lived for years in Spain. Those life chapters inform how she listens and asks questions. Iris combines practical conversation with attention to how daily habits and routines affect mood and behavior.
Her practice emphasizes clear tools and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflective work. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the client brings, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns, Mindfulness Therapy to develop moment-to-moment awareness, Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete steps forward. Sessions aim to identify patterns that increase anger or stress and to test small changes that reduce their impact.
Iris describes her work as collaborative and direct. She helps people notice triggers, practice alternative responses, and plan what to do differently in real situations. Practical skills, breathing or grounding practices, and short behavioral experiments are common parts of sessions.
For someone managing frustrating outbursts, long-standing resentment, or the strain of another person’s anger, Iris offers steady, experience-based support and straightforward methods to practice between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means conversations that prioritize the client’s concerns and pace, useful when sorting out anger triggers or patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks situations down into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward experiments and coping skills to test in everyday life, which can reduce impulsive responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple grounding practices to notice rising anger and choose a different response.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT tools for immediate behavior change, then adding mindfulness skills or narrative work to shift longer-term patterns. The plan is shaped together and adjusted as progress is observed.
Confirm the session formats before booking. When you arrange sessions, consider practical benefits that make therapy easier to fit in. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and make it easier to continue between moves. If you prefer sessions that focus on clear skill practice, weekly video or phone meetings can support that; if you want occasional check-ins, scheduling can be adapted to shorter sessions. Ask which formats are available when you complete the matching questionnaire.
