Shlomo Schloss, LICSW

Shlomo Schloss is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with ten years of experience as a psychotherapist. He offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

He works with issues that include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting struggles, grief, and addiction. He also addresses challenges like sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Living with health challenges such as chronic pain, illness, and disability is part of his stated focus.

Shlomo blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with rational-emotive perspectives to shape conversations. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than following one fixed method. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels in discussion.

In practical terms, he uses attachment-based and emotion-focused approaches when relationship patterns matter. He also draws on methods that address couples dynamics, such as the Gottman and Imago-related ideas, when those fit the goal. The choice of techniques is matched to what a client wants to work on.

Shlomo encourages people who feel stuck to take small steps toward change. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort that aims to build insight and practical ways to handle daily stressors. His Minnesota license is one of the credentials he lists as a practicing clinician.

How attachment and emotion-focused work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and try different ways of connecting in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. This approach helps people name their priorities and make decisions that fit their values.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and the patterns they create in close relationships. It helps people identify core feelings, speak for those feelings, and change interaction cycles that cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a work break or caregiving schedule. It also makes it possible to connect with a licensed professional in Minnesota from other locations when that fits the client's needs.
