About Iris
Iris Tanton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and addictions. She also addresses family concerns, grief, eating and body image issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Iris grew up as a first-generation Latin woman in the United States and spent many years living in Spain. Those life experiences shape how she listens and responds. She draws on practical skills rather than long lectures, and uses everyday language in sessions.
Her practice blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques. She also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and identify small, manageable steps forward. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with new ways of responding.
Iris aims to help clients look at patterns that keep them stuck and to find clearer choices. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety, approaches to dealing with triggers from trauma, and ways to address problems with relationships or substance use. She also supports people facing loss, identity questions, or struggles with purpose.
She offers therapy in English and Spanish from her Florida practice. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the approach fits their needs.
How Iris integrates CBT and mindfulness online
In remote sessions Iris often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. CBT work involves identifying specific thoughts or beliefs that drive anxiety and testing them through small experiments. Mindfulness helps people learn to observe their thoughts and feelings without immediately acting on them, which can reduce reactivity and build calm.She also uses client-centered principles to keep the work collaborative. That means the therapist and client decide together which tools to try and which goals feel important. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Iris will discuss practical arrangements and help choose an approach that fits the client's needs and daily life.
