About Ian

Ian Schroeder is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and changes in life. He uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to guide people through painful experiences. His pronouns are he/him and he practices from Oregon with 15 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor.

Ian emphasizes a collaborative relationship. He listens for strengths and past successes, then builds steps that feel manageable.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and direct, with room to talk about identity, gender dysphoria, and questions tied to LGBT concerns. He draws on personal experience with addiction and recovery to connect with people who are working through similar struggles. That background informs his approach to motivation and relapse prevention without assuming one path fits everyone.

Ian blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and EMDR when trauma work is needed. He also uses mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing to help people set and reach realistic goals. When someone begins, he works with them to build a plan that fits their life and values.

Therapy can include short practical exercises, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments as needs change. He prefers to move at a pace the person is comfortable with while keeping focused on what they want to achieve.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Ian uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative behaviors that can reduce anxiety, depression, and daily stress. CBT often includes concrete homework and step-by-step experiments people can do between sessions.

He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related memories. EMDR involves focusing on targeted memories while using guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of distressing images and sensations, making traumatic memories easier to work with in therapy.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Ian will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try first. He adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work fits the person’s pace and needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues during EMDR or skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people keep continuity of care and stay engaged even with changing schedules.
