About Petya

Petya Pohlschneider is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with 17 years of professional experience.

Her work also addresses parenting challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, and issues linked to cancer and caregiver stress.

Petya uses a Narrative approach alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques. She listens for the stories people carry about themselves and helps them rewrite those stories in ways that feel more helpful.

Background and approach

Sessions can also draw on solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals. Her practice blends traditional therapy with attention to nutrition and body-mind connections. Petya explains how eating and lifestyle choices can affect mood and coping, and she offers tailored suggestions when appropriate.

Mindfulness tools are used to slow down difficult moments and build day-to-day skills. She has worked with people facing new medical diagnoses, hospice and end-of-life situations, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and caregiver strain. Petya centers each person’s goals and preferences when building a plan for therapy.

Many clients come seeking relief from persistent worry, help after a loss, or guidance through a big life change. Sessions are conversational and practical. Petya aims to create a calm space where people can gain clarity, build resilience, and take small steps toward well-being.

Online session options

Narrative and Mindfulness work delivered online

Petya blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people deal with stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps them reshape those stories so they feel less stuck. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to find what matters most. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and build steady coping skills.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Petya collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This helps the person feel involved and respected in shaping their own care.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
