About Irene
Relational Therapist in Florida & Wyoming
If you’re here, you may be looking for a space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and understand what you need moving forward.
I’m Ragna Irene White, though I go by Irene.
I believe therapy works best when you have space to be fully yourself, without pressure or pretense. I earned my Master of Social Work from Southeastern University and am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern in Florida and a Provisional Clinical Social Worker in Wyoming, under supervision in both states.
My approach is person-centered, relational, and grounded in authenticity. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest about where you are, get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels meaningful.
I’m also the author of Blessings Through Brokenness, a faith-based book shaped by my own lived experiences and journey through adversity. Those experiences inform the way I show up as a therapist, but I don’t believe your past, a diagnosis, or the reason you came to therapy should define who you are.
Alongside traditional therapeutic approaches, I incorporate holistic and integrative practices, including Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping), and have additional training in supporting individuals with OCD.
Most of all, I believe in meeting you where you are and making room for where you’re going.
How I Approach Therapy
My approach is person-centered, relational, holistic, and integrative.
That might look like:
noticing patterns in your relationships, emotions, or everyday life
understanding what has shaped you without letting it define you
reconnecting with your body instead of living entirely in your thoughts
making space for the parts of yourself that have gotten lost in responsibility, expectations, or change
slowing down enough to notice what you need now
having a place to be honest without needing to explain everything perfectly
I also bring in holistic elements like movement, reflection, grounding, and mindfulness so therapy doesn’t have to stay entirely in your head.
What This Work Is (and Isn’t)
This isn’t about quick fixes, surface-level coping, or reducing you to a diagnosis.
It’s about understanding yourself more fully. What you’ve been carrying. What keeps showing up. What matters to you. And what it might look like to move through your life with more intention.
Sometimes that includes exploring difficult experiences from the past. Sometimes it’s about what’s happening in your life right now. Often, it’s a little of both.
The goal isn’t to define you by what brought you to therapy. It’s to create space for reconnection, growth, and whatever comes next.
Outside of Therapy
Outside of sessions, I’m drawn to many of the same things that shape my work: being outside, moving, slowing down, and finding ways to feel more grounded and connected.
You’ll often find me walking, near the water, or exploring holistic approaches to well-being.
Why This Work Matters
Life has a way of pulling us away from ourselves.
You can spend years responding to responsibilities, relationships, expectations, and everyone who needs something from you without realizing how little space you’ve had to hear yourself.
Therapy can be a place to come back to that.
A place to understand what you’re carrying, reconnect with what matters to you, and make more intentional choices about how you want to move forward.
