About Shlomo

Shlomo Schloss is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who practices from a warm, interactive stance. He brings ten years of psychotherapy experience and focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

He also works with those coping with trauma, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. His approach is person-centered and practical.

Sessions aim to be respectful and nonjudgmental, with conversation shaped around each person's goals. He combines elements of attachment-based thinking, emotionally-focused ideas, and client-centered care to match what a person needs in the moment.

Shlomo pays attention to how past attachments and family patterns affect current relationships and moods. He helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try different ways of relating, and rebuild connection.

For relationship questions he uses ideas from the Gottman Method alongside attachment work to support clearer communication and trust building. He also addresses everyday problems like sleep, eating, work stress, and anger by making small, manageable changes.

For people dealing with chronic illness, trauma, or dissociation he offers steady, paced support and practical coping tools. Sessions can include coaching-style steps when a client wants concrete actions.

Shlomo practices as an LICSW in Minnesota and works with people in English. He accepts international clients and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how people connect and responds to feelings of safety and closeness; online sessions use conversation and exercises to notice patterns and try new ways of relating. The Gottman Method emphasizes communication and practical skills for handling conflict and rebuilding trust; those ideas translate into guided conversations and specific exercises you can practice between sessions. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and meeting a person where they are, giving space to explore concerns at a comfortable pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a joint effort and plans can shift as progress and goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions, and easier scheduling during busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life, or different time zones.
