About Doris Irvin
Doris is particularly committed to helping people discover a clearer sense of purpose and to make lasting changes that improve physical and mental well-being. She emphasizes a client-centered approach, trusting that each person is the expert in their own life and should guide the direction of therapy. Building a strong, healing relationship is a central priority for her practice.
Therapeutically, Doris draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses CBT to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts that influence emotions and behavior, and she applies solution-focused methods to set realistic goals and mobilize existing strengths toward tangible steps. Both approaches ask for active participation and a willingness to try new strategies, and Doris supports clients through that process as they work toward meaningful change.

Online delivery of collaborative, evidence-based approaches
Doris Irvin uses a blend of client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to guide online care. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience - the therapist provides empathy, listening, and support while the client directs goals and pace; this approach is useful for improving self-esteem, navigating life changes, and strengthening the therapeutic relationship. CBT is a structured approach that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts that influence emotions and behavior, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and certain addictive patterns. Solution-focused methods concentrate on practical goals and the client’s existing strengths, helping to create step-by-step plans for immediate problems and forward movement.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Doris will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This partnership helps tailor techniques to each person’s situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or connect across distances. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make consistent engagement with licensed professionals and therapists more manageable.
