About Iris

Iris Tanton is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with six years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, and major life changes. Iris also helps with parenting strain, body image concerns, self-esteem, and problems around communication and commitment.

Her style is warm and curious. She uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people tell and reshape the stories that guide their lives.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps that fit each person’s day-to-day life. Iris draws on a broad personal and professional background. Raised in the U.S. as a first-generation Latin woman and having spent years living in Spain, she brings a multicultural perspective to her work.

That experience informs how she listens for cultural and life-story themes that affect wellbeing. In sessions she helps clients spot repeating patterns and try small, manageable changes. She mixes mindfulness practices with solution-focused tasks so people gain tools they can use between sessions.

The aim is clearer choices, less reactivity, and more control over daily routines. People meet Iris for both short-term problem solving and deeper exploration. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and creating a personal narrative that feels more useful.

She offers services in English and Spanish from her Florida practice.

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Iris directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathy and listening. It focuses on helping people feel heard while they explore their own goals and values, useful for issues like low self-esteem or life direction.

Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. By separating a person from a problem, this approach can help with identity concerns, relationship patterns, and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, then try methods that match those priorities. Sessions may shift over time as goals change and new challenges appear.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy days and varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and environment permit. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or a quieter connection is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or travel without losing continuity of care.
