About Eileen
Eileen Schrader is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
She draws on client-centered methods and body-focused practices to help people feel steadier in everyday life. Sessions include breathing and body awareness exercises alongside talking and problem-solving. She also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help clients reframe painful stories and identify practical next steps.
Her work often addresses attachment and family-of-origin issues, abandonment and adoption-related concerns, and helping people who have experienced dissociation or severe shame. She has experience with first responder and veteran issues and with multicultural concerns. These areas are woven into conversations about boundaries, communication, and healing from past harm.
Eileen includes faith in her work when clients welcome it, and she says this can be a source of meaning for some people. She also offers secular options and works with people of all faiths. Interventions include breath work, body work, cognitive exercises, and creative practices that aim to build coping skills.
Her practice supports adults seeking clearer self-understanding and steadier coping. People who want to focus on restoration after loss, reduce panic and anxiety, or improve closeness and communication often find the mix of talking, somatic work, and practical planning useful.
How sessions work
How Eileen brings therapy online using practical approaches
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them name feelings and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs to sort out priorities, feel heard, and make steady changes.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how they respond emotionally, change unhelpful patterns, and build more secure ways of relating. This can be helpful for people who want clearer communication and less reactivity around intimacy or loss.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. Together the therapist and client identify unhelpful storylines and try out different ways of framing experiences. This can make space for new meaning after trauma, grief, or major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That planning can shift as goals change over time.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which online formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use somatic and breathing practices in real time while at home or at another convenient location.
