Eileen Schrader, LCSW

Eileen Schrader helps people discover greater peace, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of well-being. With three decades of clinical experience, she supports individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and the complex dynamics of interpersonal life. Her practice addresses life transitions, workplace stress, family conflict, and personal growth with steady, compassionate guidance.

As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she draws on a flexible, empathetic approach refined through years of work with diverse populations. Eileen integrates breath work and body-based techniques alongside cognitive and creative exercises to help clients develop practical coping skills and new perspectives. She also brings elements of faith to her work and enjoys incorporating her Christian beliefs for clients who wish to include spiritual growth in therapy, while remaining welcoming to people of all faiths.

She has particular experience supporting women, young adults, and veterans, and she specializes in helping those processing abandonment, past abuse, attachment challenges, and workplace difficulties. Her aim is to help clients build self-understanding, strengthen resilience, and move toward healing, safety, and personal empowerment through tailored strategies and steady clinical support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Eileen draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client is the expert on their own experience. This approach focuses on active listening and empathy, helping people explore values, goals, and personal strengths so they can find their own path forward. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, is used to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful emotional patterns in close relationships. EFT can be especially helpful for couples work and for those wanting to improve attachment and communication.

She also incorporates somatic techniques that attend to the body as part of healing. These practices include breath and body-based exercises that can reduce physiological stress responses and support regulation after trauma or during intense emotions. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Eileen works with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. For many people, virtual work with a licensed professional provides accessible, consistent support while maintaining therapeutic depth and continuity.
