I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with a PhD in Developmental Psychology. I provide science-based individual, family, and couples therapy in both English and Russian languages in my Florida based private practice. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, and social relationship issues. My therapeutic approach is eclectic in that I select several evidence-based techniques from various psychological perspectives – insight-oriented, humanistic-based, solution-focused – and tailor them to specific treatment goals that you, as my client, will set forth, based on your individual needs and current issues.
Once we begin our sessions, we will be working together, as a team, guiding you towards improved emotional and physical health, better performance at school/work, more positive daily life experiences, and increased self-respect and self-trust. With my over 15 years of academic, research, and clinical experience, along with your active engagement in weekly LIVE sessions, I believe I can provide you with valuable tools to cope with your challenging circumstances.
Contact me today and let me help you uncover your true potential and subsequently lead a productive, fulfilling life!

Written on Jul 13, 2020 after therapy with Irina for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and anger management
It took a lot of self motivation to reach out for help. It became so easy to get into a regular routine of being extremely anxious and upset and easily getting angry. When I finally reached out for professional help Dr. Fredricks was key in helping me find a positive balance within myself. She encouraged good habits I had already developed and made suggestions to help me in other areas that I needed to work on. She really is an expert with a wide range of knowledge and reccommondations. She is very good at listening to your personal needs and considering your personality and combining that with scientific backup from the world of psychology. She shared many studies and helpful worksheets and research to reinforce information, which was helpful for me since I am very interested in science and research. The biggest part is your own participation. I tried my hardest to listen to Dr. Fredricks and follow her suggestions to a “T” and it has truly changed my life for the better. I 100% would not find myself in the same positive, motivated and overall happy mindset without Dr. Fredricks. I HIGHLY recommend her expertise! She is very kind and knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help.

I was a pinball with my needs, but she was incredible at helping me figure out my trigger points and gave wonderful techniques to practice for the following week after a session. Once implemented everything was slowly falling back into place. She is an incredible listener, and helps talk through the solution rather than just saying what I should do. I would highly recommend her!

She knows and respects the anxiety I have. Always makes me feel like I am making progress and it motivates me. Very kind and takes time to answer questions. Then allows me to voice myself and takes it into account with my treatment.
Written on Sep 02, 2018 after therapy with Irina for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related, and anger
I've been on the fence about going to therapy for years. I'm the type of person who likes to think things through and figure everything out for myself. It took me a real bad incident to finally accept that I need to get help.
I have been very surprised, and quite impressed, by the type of connections Irina has been able to make for me. She has provided nothing but solutions and clarity to everything I've brought to her.
I have many more things to work through but I am really happy I've been able to make progress and feel a sense of liberation with this experience.
