Bringing evidence-based approaches to online care

Dr. Minette Russell-Irace draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This practical, goal-oriented approach is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems because it targets thoughts and routines that keep symptoms active.

She also integrates psychodynamic concepts to explore how past relationships and emotional patterns influence current difficulties. This work can help people gain insight into recurring relationship issues, intimacy concerns and mood patterns by connecting present struggles with earlier experiences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Russell-Irace works with each person to determine whether a more structured skill-building focus, deeper insight-oriented work, or a blend of both best fits their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the plan over time based on how the client responds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple formats. Video sessions make it possible to work face-to-face from home, while phone, live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for scheduling, comfort and convenience. These options help clients maintain continuity of care and fit therapeutic work into busy lives.
