About Irina
Dr. Irina Fredericks is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 15 years of clinical and research experience. She works with adults in English and Russian. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and codependency concerns.
Dr. Fredericks uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and daily pressures. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work to support clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
People come to her when they are having trouble saying no, keeping boundaries, or staying calm around someone else's moods or drinking. She helps identify patterns, practice new responses, and test small changes between sessions. Work often includes learning specific skills for emotional regulation and communication.
Her background includes a PhD in Developmental Psychology and many years combining academic research with clinical practice. That experience informs how she uses research-backed techniques alongside conversational therapy. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on things people can try right away.
Dr. Fredericks asks clients to set concrete goals so progress can be tracked. She emphasizes steady skill building rather than quick fixes. Adults who want to stop putting themselves last often find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How her online work uses ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It helps when worry or people-pleasing gets in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and aims to make sessions feel conversational while the therapist reflects and supports the client's own problem-solving.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test methods, and adjust techniques based on what feels useful. This is a collaborative process where the client helps steer what is tried next.
Confirm the current session options before booking so logistics match your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also work well when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a simpler setup with less bandwidth. The therapist will discuss what formats are available and help choose what fits best.
