About Roger
Roger Schwarz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 27 years of experience in California. He centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. He encourages clients who want clearer relationships or relief from stress and anxiety to take a first step toward change.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process. He listens first and follows the client's lead, helping people name what matters and try practical steps. Sessions often focus on patterns in relationships, reactions to stress, and ways to manage anxiety and compulsive behaviors.
Roger draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work grounded in the client’s perspective. He also uses attachment-based methods to look at how early relationships shape current bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Many people come for help with relationship strain, infidelity, separation, or issues around fatherhood and family of origin. He also works with concerns such as codependency, process and sex addictions, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and social anxiety.
Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer understanding. Roger offers coaching-style guidance when clients want concrete steps. He supports people as they try new ways of relating and living, and helps them track what is working and what needs to shift.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect present connections, which can help with trust and closeness issues.Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions. He works together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a client-centered start and adding cognitive or attachment tools when they help the work move forward.
