About Roger

Roger Schwarz is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 27 years of experience in California. He focuses on relationship and addiction concerns and helps people manage anxiety, stress, and family problems. He centers each session on the person's strengths and goals.

He wants to support people who are ready to make practical changes in their lives. Over his career he has guided people through separation and divorce, struggles with codependency, and issues tied to family of origin.

Background and approach

He also works with people dealing with compulsive behaviors, process addictions, and sexual concerns. Sessions aim to address the concrete problems that get in the way of daily life and close relationships. Roger blends attachment-based perspectives with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools.

That means he pays attention to how early relationship patterns influence current behavior, listens to what matters most to each person, and offers focused strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. His style is steady and practical. He helps clients break big problems into small steps and tries to make sessions feel purposeful and manageable.

People who want clear, actionable work on relationships, jealousy, fatherhood issues, or compulsive behaviors may find this approach useful. Roger offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. He works collaboratively to set goals and adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online support

Attachment work and practical online therapy options

Roger brings together attachment-based thinking and cognitive-behavioral methods to address relationship and behavior patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and compulsive habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on attachment patterns for relationship concerns or using CBT tools for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and the plan can change as you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues during relationship or emotionally focused work. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style notes, or supplemental work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and geographic constraints.
