About Minette
Dr. Minette Russell-Irace helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, mood shifts, or relationship strain.

Background and approach
Her training included approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and the personal history people bring to sessions. She has run group programs for depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and a breast cancer support group. In sessions she aims to be warm and straightforward.
She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings, and she also pays attention to the patterns that keep problems returning. That mix helps people manage symptoms and build new skills for daily life. People seeking support for anger or bipolar-related challenges will find experience relevant to those concerns.
The practice emphasizes respectful listening and gradual change rather than quick fixes. Practical details include offering sessions that fit modern life schedules. Dr.
Russell-Irace draws on her clinical training and three years of professional experience to tailor a plan to each persons goals and pace. She works in English and bases care in New York, using a clear, collaborative approach.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Russell-Irace commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on how thoughts and behaviors interact and on understanding personal patterns. Cognitive-behavioral style work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or sleep trouble. Psychodynamic-style work looks at recurring patterns and personal history to understand why certain reactions keep happening and to shift long-standing habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to find practical strategies and deeper insight as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, extra coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
