About Edward
Edward Schultze is a Maryland-based counselor with three decades of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of personal challenges. He meets people where they are and aims to be practical and down-to-earth in sessions.
He spent 35 years working in a special education school, mainly with adolescents and their families, before moving into independent practice about ten years ago.
Background and approach
Since then he has worked one-on-one with adults of all ages, offering straightforward support for everyday struggles and longer-term issues. Edward describes his style as easy-going, supportive, informal and nonjudgmental. He respects the courage it takes to pause and address problems that affect quality of life.
He emphasizes partnership in therapy and thinks the therapeutic relationship matters most. Although he leans toward a psychodynamic perspective, he also prioritizes immediate changes in behavior and thinking when that helps. Sessions often include practical strategies to change patterns in the here and now, along with attention to deeper themes that underlie problems.
He has experience with a broad set of concerns including bipolar disorder, addictions, anger, grief, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD. Edward welcomes questions and encourages people to ask about how therapy might fit their needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Edward uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include psychodynamic work and behavioral change strategies. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns from earlier life that continue to affect current feelings and relationships and can help when anxiety or recurring problems feel stuck. Behavioral change strategies focus on small, practical actions and thought changes in the here and now to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or break unhelpful cycles.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit those needs. Treatment can shift over time to address both immediate problems and deeper patterns as required.
Online therapy offers flexibility with multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions for lower bandwidth, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or a busy family schedule while still working on anxiety, stress, sleep, or relationship concerns.
