A path to better mental health
Secure online therapy at your pace

Licensed psychologist – secure online therapy
My name is Irina Oltu, and I am a licensed psychologist with experience in both public and private practice. I work with a wide range of concerns — from complex PTSD, trauma, stress, and burnout, to milder psychological difficulties and common responses to life’s challenges. In therapy, I place strong emphasis on safety, respect, and collaboration, working together to explore what matters to you.
We start where you are
As a psychologist, I am committed to creating a safe space where clients can discover their own strengths, reconnect with themselves, and experience greater agency and a sense of freedom in their lives. I hold deep respect for each client’s life and the ways they manage it, and I often take a “not-knowing” stance in therapy.
We start where you are, and work with the whole person — not the diagnosis.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, based on the client’s needs, symptoms, and preferences.
How we work together
Adapted to you and your situation
GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF
Long-term stress, trauma, and strain can affect the body, thoughts, and emotions. Together, we explore what lies beneath your difficulties, in a safe and structured therapeutic space.
CLIENT-CENTERED
The therapy is adapted to you, your needs, and your life situation. I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, based on your goals, symptoms, and preferences.
BALANCE AND ENERGY
The aim is not only symptom relief, but increased freedom, agency, and connection to your own resources — in work, relationships, and everyday life.
My areas of practice
I work with a broad range of psychological difficulties and life stressors, including:
- Sleep difficulties
- Depression
- Different forms of anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Stress and burnout
- Difficulties with emotion regulation
- Trauma
Alongside psychotherapy, I also consider broader factors that influence mental health, and work with clients to identify sustainable changes in lifestyle and stress regulation. I have a particular interest in the interaction between physiology and mental health, and in working with the body’s own regulatory systems to support balance, functioning, and psychological well-being.

Safety and confidentiality
Online psychologist
Evidence-based practice
Safety and confidentiality
As a licensed healthcare professional, I am bound by laws and regulations that govern my clinical work. You can be confident that you receive evidence-based treatment and that confidentiality is strictly upheld.
I am a strong advocate for privacy and data protection, particularly when it comes to client confidentiality. I do not use artificial intelligence (AI) for session transcription, a practice that is becoming increasingly common in the mental health field.
For video sessions, I use a secure video platform designed for healthcare professionals (whereby.com), with end-to-end encryption and GDPR compliance.
Common questions
Do I need to know what I want to talk about?
No. Many people come without a clear starting point.
It’s fine to begin with what feels unclear or difficult — we can explore it together.
What happens in the first session?
We spend time getting to know each other and understanding what you’re looking for help with.
You set the pace, and there’s no expectation to share more than you feel ready to.
What if I’m not sure I want to continue?
That’s completely okay.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and you’re free to take breaks or stop at any point.
