About Eileen
Eileen Schrader is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Her approach aims to help clients feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
She draws on client-centered work to make sessions focused on the person in front of her. That means conversations center on each person’s values and goals rather than a fixed, one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She also uses emotionally focused methods to address painful patterns in close relationships and narrative techniques to help people reframe their life stories. Somatic tools and breathwork are offered for people whose bodies hold stress or trauma. Those practices are used alongside cognitive and creative exercises to give practical ways to cope between sessions.
Eileen describes her style as compassionate and adaptable, tailoring methods to what the individual needs most. Eileen integrates personal faith into her work when clients ask for it, while also welcoming people of all backgrounds and beliefs. She notes experience with issues related to abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, and first responder and veteran concerns.
Based in Pennsylvania, she communicates in English and is available to international clients as well. Sessions may include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once a match is made.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to each person’s goals. Online sessions using this approach focus on what matters to the client and adjust pacing and tools to fit their life circumstances.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships. In online work EFT can guide conversations about attachment, help name emotional triggers, and practice new interaction patterns with real-time reflection.
Narrative therapy supports examining and rewriting the stories people tell about themselves. Online sessions often use this method to help clients identify dominant themes, try out new perspectives, and track small changes between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time as progress and preferences emerge.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different days and situations. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and somatic or breathwork guidance, phone calls can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or text messaging can provide brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
