01About Ian
Ian Schroeder is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression. He also supports those dealing with trauma, anger, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, career questions, and gender dysphoria. He uses plain language and practical steps so people can try things that make life easier.
Ian describes counseling as a partnership. He listens first, then works with each person to set short-term goals and small experiments.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as breathing, thought tracking, and real-world problem solving. He brings 15 years of experience to that process and draws on his own recovery background when relevant. His approach centers the person rather than a single method.
Ian blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, EMDR when appropriate, and mindfulness practices. He aims to match strategies to each person’s needs instead of forcing a checklist of methods. People who choose him often want practical help and clear steps.
He pays attention to the strengths someone already has and builds from there. Over time he helps people notice what changes work and what needs adjusting. Ian practices in Oregon as an LPC and as a Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor, listed as LMHC.
He conducts sessions in English and offers several online formats to fit different schedules.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding where someone is coming from, and following their priorities. It helps people who want respectful, collaborative support for life changes, relationship strain, and identity issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small steps and practicing new responses between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. When appropriate, it is adapted to work in an online setting to help people process past events that still cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then tries methods that match those needs. That collaborative process helps people notice what helps and what to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues. Phone calls can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
