About Ian
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Oregon with 15 years of experience. Ian Schroeder helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes. He also has a focus on gender dysphoria.
Ian uses a person-centered approach and works alongside clients to set goals. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas. Sessions are geared toward practical steps and problem-solving rather than abstract theory.
Ian speaks from lived experience with addiction and recovery, which he says informs his work with people facing similar challenges. He aims to recognize each person’s strengths and the strategies that have helped them so far. Progress is paced by the client and shaped by clear goals.
His style is collaborative and straightforward. He helps clients identify patterns, try small behavioral changes, and review what works. When trauma is present he may use EMDR as one of several tools alongside CBT and motivational conversations.
Ian works in Oregon and conducts sessions in English. He asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching questionnaire to begin the process and to schedule a first appointment through the online options provided.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps set goals that matter to the person. It is useful when someone wants collaborative planning and support exploring options.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In short, sessions identify unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and track small changes over time. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related problems.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used when trauma or painful memories are a main concern. It involves structured processing of disturbing memories alongside guided bilateral stimulation, and can be combined with other therapies as part of a broader plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, discuss options, and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches are adjusted as progress and feedback emerge.
