Iris Tanton, LMHC

Iris Tanton is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports those dealing with grief, eating and body image concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Iris speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida as an FL LMHC. She brings six years of clinical experience and a personal background shaped by living in the U.S. and time abroad in Spain. That life path included training and work in food and wellness, and it informs a whole-person view of mental health that links mood, behavior, and lifestyle. Iris mentions experience with psychedelic psychotherapy integration work and biofeedback in her background; she uses that knowledge to inform conversations about healing and recovery. Her counseling style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She leans on client-centered listening to help people feel heard, then uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to test steps that make life easier. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help manage stress and reactivity. In sessions Iris helps clients spot unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. She uses narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell themselves and to rewrite patterns that cause pain. The goal is clearer choices, more calm in daily life, and stronger communication in close relationships. People who choose her can expect gentle curiosity, straightforward techniques, and attention to how habits, body routines, and relationships interact. To begin, clients follow the platform's matching and scheduling process to connect and arrange an initial appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist helps you name what matters most, and then supports your priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan. This approach is useful when you need a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into small steps and tests practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and interrupt reactivity in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what’s used over time.

For online therapy logistics, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work on relationship skills, coping tools, and behavioral changes between in-person commitments.
