About Ian
Ian Schroeder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon with 15 years of experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, eating and parenting struggles, depression, and career or life changes. He also offers support around gender dysphoria and issues facing people who identify as LGBT.
He describes his role as a collaborative partner. Sessions are framed around the person’s goals and the direction they choose. He draws on his own recovery experience with addiction when relevant to connect with people facing similar challenges.
Ian uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. He relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck.
For people processing traumatic memories he incorporates EMDR alongside mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories and to build steadier ways of responding to stress and anger.
He emphasizes working out a clear plan together rather than following a fixed protocol. Treatment choices are discussed openly and adjusted as needed. This includes short-term goals, coping strategies for hot moments of anger, and longer-term skills building.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a direct, practical approach. Payment varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To get started, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and what they do
Ian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity and can be helpful for trauma-related anger and reactivity.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify choices and find their own reasons to change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work; he will discuss options and decide together based on your goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use these sessions to teach calming techniques, rehearse responses to anger, and set up stepwise plans for behavior change while working through past hurts.
