About Eileen
Eileen Schrader is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and addictions.

Schrader uses several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on Client-Centered therapy to center the person’s experience and build a trusting working relationship. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her work when emotions and attachment patterns shape relational struggles. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their past.
Her practice often includes breath work, body-focused techniques, cognitive tasks, and creative exercises to give practical tools for coping. She says faith can be part of the work for people who want it, and she welcomes clients of all faith backgrounds. She notes experience supporting veterans, people processing abandonment or past abuse, and those dealing with dissociation or attachment difficulties.
Eileen emphasizes helping people develop self-understanding and better coping strategies. She describes the aim as building resilience and moving toward healthier ways of relating to self and others. Her long experience includes workplace stress, first responder issues, and multicultural concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship so people can speak about hard feelings and make sense of them. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady interaction to explore guilt, shame, or stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotion and attachment patterns. It aims to help people notice how emotions shape their reactions and relationships, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and grief. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and offers ways to reframe painful narratives that keep shame or self-blame alive.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining talk work, somatic exercises, breath work, or creative tasks in a way that feels practical.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel, or use a shorter check-in when time is limited. Some techniques, such as breath work and body-focused exercises, can be adapted to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
