About Irene
LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Illinois with 7 years of experience. Irene Batista works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, and life changes. She offers services in English and Spanish and focuses on practical help you can use between sessions.
Irene prefers a conversational, client-centered style. She listens to what matters most and uses cognitive behavioral techniques when helpful. Sessions aim to identify stressful patterns, try small behavior or thought changes, and build skills to cope with daily pressures.
She often helps people who are juggling caregiver responsibilities or facing divorce and separation. Communication problems and social anxiety are common topics in her work. She also supports people coping with post-traumatic stress symptoms and adjusting after major life events.
Irene adapts the pace to each person. Some sessions focus on immediate problem solving and coping strategies. Others look at relationship patterns and communication habits over time.
Services are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and viewpoints. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings to sessions, helping people clarify concerns, set priorities, and try small changes that matter day to day.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with small experiments, and learning practical skills to reduce anxiety or stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or a mix will be most useful. That choice can change as work progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can be scheduled during a break, or a session without video can be used when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help sessions fit routine schedules without promising a specific format.
