Hi and welcome! My name is (Anna) Iris Raileanu Pincin and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Southern California. I work with individuals on a variety of topics such as depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal issues etc. utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused- CBT, Psychodynamic etc. I'm excited to get to know you!
In your first session with me the focus will be on gaining a better understanding of what brought you to me. That may include questions, seeking clarification etc. I try my best to balance rapport building with insight to symptoms and behaviors as it is very understanding that opening up to a complete stranger on the first session can be difficult. Let's find a balance together.
I'm a people person and I have always been. Being able to connect with people has always been one of my strongest abilities. It is a great privilege to get to know someone deeply, and I do not take that for granted. Connecting with people is the best part of life: that is why I chose this career path. Every individual is unique, and one size does not fit all. I firmly believe in an eclectic and collaborative approach where together; we find what works best for you individually. I am curious about you and who you are, and you are the expert in your own life.
I have found that my style and approach fit well with people who are ready to take it a step further and deeper into understanding own needs, unprocessed feelings and experiences and gain new insights.

I use CBT to help people problem-solve and uncover the relationship between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and the behaviors that follow.
I use a Psychodynamic approach to increase the understanding that recognizing behaviors for what they are can help clients build healthy coping mechanisms. This approach explores why we do what we do, tying past events and subconscious constructs into present behaviors and behavior patterns. All this while establishing a good client-therapist relationship.
I use a Solution Focused approach for those that seek short term treatment and have specific goals they want to achieve as well as those who appreciate a directive approach.
Similarly to CBT, I use TF-CBT to problem-solve and uncover the relationship between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and the behaviors that follow and how they all relate to trauma.

Iris has a relaxed and friendly demeanor and allows for organic conversation and reflection. And when you least expect it encourages a-ha moments that are acknowledged and highlighted. Her sessions are goal oriented with subtle redirections back to prior discussion points. I appreciate her format greatly.

She was very kind and felt heard when I was talking about past trauma which felt really nice because when I talk about it we never go back to the process of how I cope throughout the years.

Appreciated how Iris dug into the specifics and asked questions that made me think outside my normal.
