About Eileen

Eileen Schrader is a PA LCSW with 30 years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns. She describes her work as supporting people through loss, life transitions, workplace stress, and interpersonal challenges.

She integrates approaches that focus on feelings, bodily experience, and the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions often include breath work and body-based exercises alongside cognitive and creative techniques. Eileen also weaves personal faith into conversations when clients want that element included.

Eileen has worked with a wide range of concerns over three decades. That includes panic and anxiety, attachment and abandonment issues, addiction, and the effects of past abuse. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and the stresses of service roles such as first responder or veteran-related issues.

Her practice pays attention to how relationships shape daily life. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help people name emotions and improve communication. Narrative work is used to reframe difficult memories and make space for different outcomes.

People who choose this approach can expect practical tools to use between sessions. Eileen encourages skills people can practice on their own, and she helps set clear goals for coping with change and improving connection with others.

How Eileen brings therapeutic approaches to online work

Eileen draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with core emotions that affect close relationships and communication. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can explore what matters to them in their own words. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from identity so new choices can emerge.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the way she uses techniques as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use breath and body exercises at home and to practice new communication skills in between meetings.
