About Iréné

Iréné Celcer is a bilingual psychotherapist who greets clients in both English and Spanish. She holds a Master of Arts and practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia, bringing 30 years of experience. She offers calm, respectful care for people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma and abuse. Her work is straightforward and personal. She listens first, then helps people name what feels hard. She combines a psychodynamic view with mindfulness practice and client-centered dialogue to address issues like body image, eating concerns, and relationship struggles. She also supports people navigating LGBTQIA challenges, gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care matters, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress. Iréné emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She avoids labels and invites clients to steer their own progress. Her approach mixes reflection on life patterns with practical techniques for managing emotions and behavior. She works with adults, including parents and young adults, helping them with parenting strains, career transitions, intimacy questions, and self-esteem. She helps people who face compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and aging concerns. Clients can expect a tailored plan made together. Conversations and goals are adjusted to each person’s pace and needs. Iréné aims to help people feel more whole and more present in their bodies and lives.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life. It looks at how those patterns show up now and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others and themselves. This can be useful for intimacy struggles, trust issues, and family-related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person in charge of their progress. The therapist offers nonjudgmental listening, reflection, and support while the client guides the pace and goals. This approach helps with self-esteem, identity questions, and making sense of life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus on the present moment. It is often paired with other methods to help with anxiety, stress, and managing intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative, and treatment plans are adjusted as needs and priorities change.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy week, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or allow people to choose audio-only if video would be difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can work with clients this way while tailoring the timing and frequency to everyday life.
