More about Blaire

Welcome to Better Help! You've taken a the first and often most difficult step toward getting the help and support you are seeking. It can often be a bit scary and intimidating to reach out and make yourself vulnerable to a new person, but I assure you that I will do my absolute best to help you feel comfortable and to support the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship.

My name is Blaire Schroder and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both New York and New Jersey. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in 2009 and have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Queens College as all of my secondary education is in the field of mental health. I have approximately 14 years of professional experience working in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, relationships/parenting and more. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles with. I believe we all have the capacity to develop self-awareness through our challenges and therefore be equipped to make positive changes and improve our overall quality of life. Sometimes an individual with an outside perspective and no prior connection can offer an unbiased perspective, can provide helpful support, and can guide and motivate us to successfully address a difficult situation at times when we may feel otherwise stuck. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. We all want to be able to share our personal experiences, perspectives, feelings and even flaws, and have a strong desire to be both accepted and understood. I believe that being open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story with me to be critical to the development of a trusting relationship and I sincerely look forward to developing that connection with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She rocks!

Jun 2020

Blaire respectfully helps me address the sources of my anxiety.

Sep 2019

Blaire does a great job at listening. She has the ability to understand core issues affecting my life in a very short period of time. She has been very helpful in my journey towards healing so far.

Aug 2019

Blaire’s great. I never thought therapy would be for me (and I fired several therapists in a row when I first tried lol) but she changed my mind.

Aug 2022

I began working with Blaire after some failed attempts with other counselors and was relieved to finally connect with a kind and competent therapist. Her replies feel genuine and her input tends to challenge or influence my thoughts (and therefore behavior) productively. Since I can be pretty stubborn, that's very helpful. Long story short, she's great.

M.I.·Sep 2021

I love Blaire!

E.R.·May 2021

Blaire is wonderful. I honestly didn’t have much confidence in this site or getting help on here but she changed my mind after our first live session. She is very compassionate, honest and really helpful. I feel I am able to share openly with her about what I’m going through and I don’t feel judged at all.

C.H.·Mar 2021

Blaire is an amazing therapist. I could’ve have asked for a better match. She is thoughtful, nonjudgmental and very empathetic.

Blaire is great that’s why I came back!

J.E.·Apr 2020

From our first session, my counselor and I connected. I was hesitant to open up and was not sure if she was the right counselor for me but by the end of the first session and over time, I was more and more sure that she was. I have told her things that I have never said out loud, and she has helped me progress in life and reach a healthier mental state. I don’t feel depressed as often as I used to, and for the first time, I have been able to achieve goals that I have never accomplished before. My counselor has had a big part in this. She is always encouraging, validates everything I say, is very supportive and uplifting, and always makes different suggestions of things I can try to better myself. After our sessions, I feel great and am reassured that I made the right decision in seeking counseling. I know that over time, I will be able to transcend my initial goals for myself and be the person I’ve always wanted to be. I have already recommended therapy to relatives because I see how much of an impact it can have, all thanks to Blaire. Thank you so much!!!

R.O.·Feb 2020

So far so good. Really enjoying this format and my counselor. I’ve never been good at sticking with therapy but this is so flexible and easy, and so personalized that I can’t see myself quitting like I’ve done with many in person therapists.
