About Eileen
Eileen Schrader is an LCSW in Pennsylvania with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered, narrative, solution-focused, and somatic approaches. In sessions she listens for patterns in feelings and interactions. She helps clients name hard emotions and notice how those feelings shape their choices.
Her work often addresses abandonment, attachment difficulties, family of origin issues, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with first responder and veteran issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. She includes breath work, body-based exercises, cognitive strategies, and creative techniques when useful.
She brings experience with adoption and foster care concerns, dissociation, panic disorder and attacks, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She integrates personal faith when clients request that perspective, while also working with people of any or no faith.
Practical skills are a focus in sessions. Clients learn tools to manage strong feelings, improve how they relate to others, and handle work or parenting pressures. To begin, visitors select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and making sense of core emotions and the interaction patterns those emotions create. It can help when relationship patterns or personal reactions feel stuck and hard to name. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a listener stance and supports people as they find their own solutions and sense of direction.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives and works on reshaping those stories so they become less limiting. These approaches can be useful for anxiety, grief, trauma-related reactions, attachment difficulties, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on their goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That decision is reviewed as therapy continues so the approach can change if needed.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family obligations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity of care for people living some distance from a clinician.
