About Iris

Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with six years of experience. Iris Tanton works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, eating and parenting concerns. She also assists people coping with anger, self-esteem, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Iris draws on client-centered methods and structured therapies to help people name what is hard. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice and tolerate difficult feelings. Narrative and solution-focused work support short-term goals and clearer next steps.

Her background includes time living abroad and work across different settings. That experience shapes a practical, culturally aware approach. Iris centers everyday routines and habits as part of change rather than abstract concepts.

In sessions she helps people spot repetitive patterns, try small experiments, and track what changes. Conversations often include clear strategies people can practice between meetings. She also helps with processing past hurt and with planning realistic steps forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In online meetings this looks like open questions, paraphrasing, and checking what felt useful after each topic. It helps people clarify feelings and priorities when life feels hectic.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In remote sessions that means setting small homework tasks, reviewing results together, and adjusting steps based on what worked. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that cause repeated stress.

Mindfulness techniques train attention to bodily signals and present-moment experience. In virtual sessions these practices can be short exercises to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on the person’s reactions and preferences. Decisions about pacing and focus are revisited as the work progresses.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins, and remove travel time. Some sessions may involve brief guided practices or homework that fit into everyday life rather than long meetings.
