About Eileen
Eileen Schrader is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Her work centers on strengthening relationships, managing stress, and restoring a sense of balance.
Eileen uses an empathic, client-centered stance to learn what matters most to each person. She combines that with emotion-focused and somatic ideas to help people notice feelings, body reactions, and patterns that keep them stuck. Narrative and solution-focused techniques are used to clarify goals and build small, usable steps forward.
Her practice includes help for parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, eating concerns, and career transitions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, dissociation, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her focus areas for those needing support after disruption.
Eileen incorporates breath work, body-based exercises, cognitive strategies, and creative practices into sessions. She describes her approach as adaptable and grounded in real-life tools that clients can use between meetings. She welcomes people from varied cultural and faith backgrounds and integrates her Christian faith when clients request that perspective.
Based in Pennsylvania, Eileen works with veterans and first responders and people navigating midlife shifts or compassion fatigue. She aims to help clients build resilience, understand themselves better, and take practical steps toward feeling more capable and empowered.
How Eileen’s Approaches Work Online
Eileen combines client-centered work with emotionally-focused and narrative methods to guide therapy. Client-centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, helping them feel heard and steering sessions by what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions to change how they respond in relationships. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people carry, helping them rewrite unhelpful narratives and find new possibilities.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide which tools and ideas to try, and this is revisited as needs change.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, use of breath or body techniques during sessions, and continuity of care when life is disrupted. Licensed professionals aim to adapt exercises and pacing so skills can be practiced between sessions and fit into everyday routines.
