About Irene

Irene Batista is a bilingual therapist licensed in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family conflict, and parenting strain. She works with clients facing life changes and caregiver stress, and offers support for communication problems and social anxiety. Irene speaks English and Spanish and draws on seven years of clinical experience as an LCPC.

Irene keeps conversations practical and focused. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a pace that fits each person and emphasizes skills you can use between meetings. Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she centers the client’s concerns while teaching tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Clients leave with concrete strategies for coping with stress and anxiety. Irene also addresses the effects of trauma, separation, and caregiving on day-to-day life. She offers straightforward ways to improve communication and reduce overwhelm during big transitions like divorce or changing family roles.

Practical matters are part of the plan. She tailors the pace, exercises, and check-ins to each person’s needs. For people who prefer Spanish, bilingual sessions are available.

How Irene’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening without judgment, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping the pace and goals around their needs. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to talk through relationship or family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills for changing thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and stress. CBT sessions often include exercises, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Irene works with each person to decide whether client-centered conversation, CBT techniques, or a mix will best meet their goals. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can fit short updates or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily routines.
