About Irene
Irene Kepler is a licensed clinical social worker with more than two decades of practice. She helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or low in confidence find clearer ways forward. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at small shifts that add up to real change.
She often works with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to identity such as LGBT issues and gender dysphoria. Irene also supports people coping with grief, relationship problems, addictions, and challenges around sleep, eating, and self esteem. She brings steady, compassionate attention to whatever feels most urgent for each person.
Irene uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions focus on learning simple skills, trying different ways of responding, and setting realistic goals that fit everyday life. Conversations are practical and geared to what someone can use between sessions.
Her training and long experience include work across family conflict, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, and issues tied to chronic illness and caregiving stress. Irene describes therapy as a collaboration where she supports and empowers clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
She is licensed in Arizona as an LCSW and also holds an LMSW from Michigan. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; please confirm current session options before booking.
