About Eileen

Eileen Schrader is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life changes. She centers sessions on empathy and practical tools so clients can feel steadier and more capable day to day. Eileen practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English, including with international clients when appropriate.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements help when relationships and attachment feel painful. Narrative and solution-focused techniques are used to reframe patterns and set achievable next steps. She brings a breadth of experience with concerns such as addictions, panic attacks, eating issues, intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting stress, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and first responder or veteran-related stress.

Eileen also addresses family of origin issues, adoption and foster care topics, abandonment, dissociation, and multicultural concerns. Clients can expect practical skills like breath work, body-based exercises, and cognitive or creative strategies to manage symptoms between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on building coping skills and clearer communication.

Eileen says faith matters in her life and she can integrate Christian perspectives when clients wish to include spiritual themes. Many people come for short-term solution-focused work or for longer-term exploration of deeper patterns and trauma recovery.

Approaches Eileen names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what is most important to the person. The therapist creates space for clients to name their goals and then shapes the work around those priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice emotional patterns that affect relationships and attachment; it is useful when feelings keep repeating or cause distance. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and offers ways to reframe difficult experiences so new choices become possible.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches and change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions make the work more flexible. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and try somatic exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, and follow-up between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping momentum on their goals.
