About Petya
Petya Pohlschneider is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Her work also addresses life changes and related issues like pregnancy and childbirth, caregiver stress, and cancer-related concerns.
Petya uses a blend of talk-based therapies and mindful practices. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's needs.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and calm. Narrative and solution-focused approaches help people reframe stories and find practical steps forward. She describes her view of healing as holistic, attending to both mind and body.
In some cases nutritional ideas are explored alongside therapy to support mood and resilience. The goal is to help people feel clearer, more capable, and better able to make day-to-day choices that support wellbeing. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Petya aims to create a steady, supportive space where people can sort through hard feelings and plan manageable changes. She emphasizes compassion and practical tools over quick fixes. For parents feeling overwhelmed, she offers focused support around the pressures of caregiving and balancing life demands.
Petya encourages small, realistic steps that fit into busy routines and help restore a greater sense of control and self-care.

Approach-driven online care that fits everyday life
Petya commonly uses client-centered therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities so sessions follow what matters most. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and grief.She approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with clients to decide which methods to try. Together they review needs, goals, and preferences and then adjust the approach as progress and life demands change. Finding the right mix is part of the process rather than a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to touch base quickly, share short reflections, or get support between longer sessions. These options are meant to increase flexibility so therapy can fit into parenting schedules and busy lives.
