About Iris Tanton

Iris Tanton is a Florida-based licensed psychotherapist with six years of clinical experience across multiple care settings. She practices as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and brings a multicultural perspective shaped by her upbringing as a first-generation Latin woman in the United States and several years living abroad in Spain. That international experience included formal study in Culinary Arts and work as a chef focused on healthy cooking, which influenced her integrative view of wellness that connects mind, body, and spirit.

Iris blends clinical training with complementary certifications in biofeedback and culinary health coaching, and she has completed specialization in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy for both preparation and integration work. Her approach is informed by mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed methods such as Compassionate Inquiry and parts work. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and applies an empathic, curiosity-driven stance to help clients explore patterns that no longer serve them.

Over the course of her career she has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, body image and eating concerns, parenting and family dynamics, and major life transitions. As a mother of three and a long-term partner, she integrates life experience with clinical knowledge to create an integrative therapeutic space centered on insight, resilience, and practical growth.

Approach Choices for Online Care and Healing

Iris often combines evidence-based strategies to meet clients where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonreactive attention to thoughts and feelings, which can help with stress, emotional regulation, and trauma recovery. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes concrete goals and small, achievable steps to create forward momentum, making it useful for life transitions, relationship concerns, and problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Iris works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors interventions that fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Together they experiment with techniques and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across schedules and locations while accessing support from licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to the online setting.
