About Roger

Roger Schwarz is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of professional experience in California. He focuses on relationship and personal struggles and aims to help people make practical changes that matter. He frames therapy as a cooperative effort and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

He helps people tackle stress and anxiety with straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions often look at patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependency, jealous feelings, or repeating family dynamics.

Background and approach

He also works with people dealing with addictions, sexual concerns, and social anxiety in ways that connect feelings to behavior. Roger uses approaches that emphasize emotions and connection. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify core feelings and rework how people respond to them.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current reactions and expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when clear, skills-oriented steps can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He describes the client as the driver of change and provides steady support while teaching tools for coping and communication.

Sessions mix listening, reflection, and practical exercises clients can try between meetings. The pace and focus adapt to each person's goals. People who want a calm, experienced guide for relationship and behavioral concerns may find his approach useful.

He offers sessions in English and works with international clients, using a mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging to fit different needs.

Emotion and Attachment Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and understand the emotions behind their reactions and patterns. It focuses on moments of strong feeling and uses conversation to shift how someone responds to those emotions, which can help with relationship strain and intense fear or sadness.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early bonds shape current expectations and behavior. By identifying those patterns, this approach helps people change how they relate to others and manage anxiety tied to closeness or loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and tailor methods to fit each person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches may be mixed or adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer flexibility that many people need. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and interact much like an in-person visit. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make short updates and between-session check-ins simple. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around life commitments and varied schedules.
