About Roger
Roger Schwarz is a California LMFT with 27 years of clinical experience helping people with relationship, stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, and coaching needs. He frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical change. He encourages people to take small, steady steps toward clearer relationships and less distress.
His work often centers on patterns that began in the family people grew up in. He helps clients notice repeated roles, expectations, and emotional habits that still affect adult life. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about what is happening now and how past family dynamics show up in relationships and choices.
Roger blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix is used to identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and rebuild ways of relating. Emotionally-focused techniques are applied when stronger emotional connection or repair work is useful.
People bring a wide range of concerns, including codependency, fatherhood issues, infidelity, sexual and process addictions, social anxiety, and struggles after divorce or separation. He also works with questions about polyamory and non-monogamous relationships. The focus stays on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He asks about daily patterns and suggests experiments to try in real life. Roger helps people track progress, adjust strategies, and decide what comes next based on what actually changes.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Roger commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people notice recurring relational moves. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or break addictive cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and adjusted based on what helps most.
