Iren Royter
I'm Iren Royter, M.A., LMHC - a licensed mental health therapist offering online individual and couples therapy in Florida, in English and Russian. I work with anxiety, depression, relationships, grief and stress, using CBT, solution - focused, and ACT approaches - direct, warm and collaborative.
My aim is a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard and where we work together on practical change.

First session
In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you here and what you'd like to change. I'll ask about your history, your current struggles and your goals, and you'll get a clear sense of how I work. Together, we'll agree on a plan - what we will focus on and how often we will meet, and one small practical step you can try right away. You will leave knowing what to expect and what comes next.
Strengths
I'm direct and warm at the same time. I listen carefully, ask honest questions and we turn insight into small practical steps you can actually do between sessions.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is an adult or a couple in Florida who feels "stuck", overwhelmed with anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship tension or stress that keeps spilling into everyday life and is ready to work on it. They may be starting therapy for the first time or coming back after a break. They want honest, direct conversations and small practical steps they can actually use between sessions. Many of my clients are immigrants or bilingual, navigating life between two cultures, and sessions in English or Russian help them say what matters in the language that feels closest. What matters most is willingness to look honestly at what is happening, to try something different (despite the fear) and to build a steadier, kinder life one step at a time.
Ongoing work together
Our work builds session by session. We start with a clear goal and plan, then each session we check what's working, what changed and what still gets in the way. You will notice progress in small, real signs: calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, better sleep, conversations that used to end in a fight going differently. We use the check in measurers to track change together, and we adjust the plan whenever life shifts. The aim is to build skills and confidence you keep using on your own.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, we look at how your thoughts, feelings and actions connect. When a thought like "I always mess things up" makes you feel worse, we test it together - is it really true, and what else could be true? Then we practice new, kinder ways of thinking and small actions that fit your real life, so change shows up between sessions, not just in them.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
With this approach, we spend less time digging into the problem and more time on what already works. I ask what a better day would look like, and we notice the small moments when things already go right - then we build on those. It is practical and focused on your goals, with clear steps you can try right away.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
With ACT, we don't fight your thoughts and feelings, we learn to make room for them without letting them run your life. We get clear on what matters most to you, your values, and take small steps toward that life, even when anxiety or sadness comes along.
