About Eileen

Eileen Schrader is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career concerns. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and major life changes.

She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions often look at current problems and practical steps to manage them. She uses breathing and body-based techniques alongside conversational work to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Eileen draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Client-Centered Therapy helps center a person’s priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports clearer emotional communication. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to reframe stories and set achievable goals.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice with diverse populations, including veterans and people dealing with adoption, abandonment, or attachment issues. She has three decades of experience working with trauma, dissociation, and the fallout of family-of-origin problems.

She describes integrating Christian faith into her work when it is relevant to the client. Sessions include concrete strategies such as breath work, body work, cognitive exercises, and creative interventions to address shame, guilt, panic, and relationship patterns.

BHow sessions work

How these therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens and reflects, helping the client name what matters and decide next steps. This approach supports stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns by keeping work practical and goal-directed.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in emotional connection. It uses structured conversations to clarify feelings and improve how someone expresses needs. This can be useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and family-of-origin patterns.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It helps separate problems from the person and create new, manageable narratives for grief, identity, and recovery from trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break or not needing to travel. Some approaches adapt well to remote work: somatic and breath practices can be guided across a video call, and narrative or solution-focused conversations often move smoothly to an online setting.
