About Iréné

Iréné Celcer is a bilingual psychotherapist based in Georgia. She holds a Master of Arts and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with three decades of practice. She speaks Spanish and brings a multicultural perspective to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, relationship strain, parenting, and career questions.

Her style is respectful and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps alongside deeper reflection. She avoids labels and invites clients to lead their own treatment while offering clinical guidance and empathy.

Iréné draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. She also uses mindfulness to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. In shorter-term work she leans on solution-focused strategies to address an immediate problem or decision.

Conversations aim to connect how feelings, body, and history fit together. She pays attention to body image, disordered eating, gender identity questions, and the stresses of caregiving and aging. She also supports people navigating discrimination, multicultural stress, and nontraditional relationship structures.

Clients can expect gentle curiosity, practical tools, and a collaborative plan. Iréné says people know themselves best, and she helps them take the lead while offering experience and structure. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Iréné often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and expectations. This helps when people struggle with intimacy, commitment doubts, or repeating conflicts. She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and meeting the person where they are; this supports building trust and choosing goals that matter to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Sessions may shift over time from deeper reflection to skill-building depending on goals and what is most helpful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats are better for brief problem-solving while others suit longer reflective work, and she will discuss what works best when you begin.
