Eileen Schrader, LCSW - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Eileen

Eileen Schrader is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice. She uses a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. Her style is practical and calm, with clear steps clients can try between sessions.

She blends emotion-focused work with narrative and somatic tools. That means she helps people make sense of painful stories, notice how feelings show up in the body, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Background and approach

Sessions often include breath work, body awareness, and straightforward cognitive or creative exercises. Eileen draws on long clinical experience across a wide range of concerns. She brings attention to relationship patterns, attachment issues, and the effects of loss or past abuse.

She also supports people coping with career stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Her faith is personally important and may be part of sessions if the client wishes. She is committed to welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds and will shape work around each person’s values and goals.

Practical skills and resilience building are central to her work. Clients learn tools for managing panic, improving communication, and handling difficult memories. The focus is on small, usable steps that can ease daily life and help people move toward steadier emotional ground.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects feelings, and helps clients name what matters most so they can set clear goals and try practical steps for change.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and patterns in relationships. It supports learning new responses to emotional triggers and can be useful for processing attachment wounds, grief, and intimacy-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether emotion-focused, narrative, somatic, or solution-focused tools are the best fit. That choice is shaped by the client’s needs, goals, and comfort with particular techniques.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions remove travel, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to use breath work, body-awareness exercises, and between-session tools without changing a daily routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
