About Irene

Irene Ledee-Farley welcomes people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and challenges around intimacy and parenting. She also addresses concerns like compassion fatigue, addictions, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Irene works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems, and she supports people exploring gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York.

Background and approach

Irene keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is causing the distress now and what can make each day easier. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the approach to match each person's needs and goals.

Sessions aim to build skills, increase insight, and help people make steady changes. Her work addresses both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. For example, she helps people notice how past attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships.

She also assists people managing dissociation, control issues, or the emotional fallout of domestic violence and other trauma. Irene offers support to people navigating nontraditional sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM, and helps caregivers manage stress tied to their roles. She pays attention to shame, guilt, forgiveness, and the practical steps people can take toward healing.

Short-term problem solving and longer-term exploration are both part of her practice. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. She brings three years of experience as an LCSW in New York and focuses on helping people find clearer, more manageable ways forward.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are skills-focused therapy and trauma-informed work. Skills-focused therapy teaches practical tools for anxiety, anger, and stress so clients can handle hard moments more effectively. Trauma-informed work concentrates on safety, pacing, and understanding how past harm affects present relationships and emotions.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan and discuss other options so the work stays collaborative and goal-oriented.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and have in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
