About Alexandra
Alexandra Irish is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist practicing in Colorado. She combines practical strategies with a calm, straightforward style to help people facing stress, anxiety, anger, loss, and relationship strain. Alexandra draws on six years of clinical experience to guide people through hard moments and life transitions.
Her sessions focus on clear goals and steady skills practice. She listens first, then offers tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to reduce intense reactions and manage difficult thoughts.
Background and approach
She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit a client's needs. People come to Alexandra for help with mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse recovery, addiction and substance concerns, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem.
She also supports those handling blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and problems that stem from family of origin patterns. Her approach is collaborative. She helps clients set small, achievable steps and tracks progress in sessions.
Therapy sessions emphasize practicing new ways of reacting, building communication skills, and strengthening coping strategies. Alexandra offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She works with English-speaking adults and provides care across a range of life stages and challenges.
For people looking for structured, skills-based support around anger and related concerns, she aims to make tools practical and usable in day-to-day life.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship so clients feel heard and understood. This approach supports people who want a therapist who reflects their experience and helps them find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems alive. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, and mood regulation because it offers concrete tools and homework to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be especially helpful when strong reactions or impulsivity make everyday life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She may blend elements from these approaches and adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy with Alexandra uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill coaching and role plays. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, daily skill practice, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options let clients fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while continuing steady progress.
