About Iris
Iris Haze is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with three decades of experience helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Many come to her when life feels stuck or out of balance.
Iris aims to make the first step feel less daunting. Her approach is warm and straightforward. She builds an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that add up over time. Iris listens closely and helps people set realistic goals they can use between meetings. Iris often uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Together these approaches support clearer thinking and better coping. Over 30 years in practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including relationships, grief, addiction, trauma, and parenting stress.
She can help with career strain, midlife questions, and mood challenges too. The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress. Sessions are offered in several online formats to fit busy lives.
Iris works with people who want steady support and guidance through life changes. She helps clients try things differently and measure what works for them.
Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following each person's concerns and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own goals. This approach can help when someone needs a compassionate listener and guidance that respects their values and timing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or anxiety. It involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and problem habits by providing specific tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Iris will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort. That collaboration includes checking in about progress and adjusting strategies when needed.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
