Edward Schultze, LCPC, LPC

Edward Schultze is a licensed counselor with deep experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. He brings a calm, informal style and focuses on practical change that fits daily life. Edward uses plain talk and partnership to help people take steps that improve day-to-day functioning and relationships.

He spent 35 years working in a special education school, mainly with adolescents and their families, before moving into independent practice nearly ten years ago. Since then he has focused on one-on-one work with adults across a wide range of concerns, including addiction, bipolar mood issues, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and ADHD. His background means he is used to steady, long-term support and straightforward problem-solving.

Edward describes his approach as psychodynamically-oriented while also prioritizing immediate needs. That means he pays attention to how the past influences feelings now, while also helping people change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way today. He aims to balance understanding with practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

People who meet him find he is easy-going, nonjudgmental, and open to questions. He welcomes curiosity and believes most people can change patterns of thinking and behavior when they have a reliable partner in therapy.

Edward works in Maryland and offers services in English. He recommends asking any questions before starting so each person feels clear about goals and how sessions will proceed.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online work

Edward describes himself as psychodynamically-oriented while also prioritizing change in present-day thoughts and behaviors. A psychodynamic perspective looks at how earlier relationships and patterns influence current feelings and reactions, which can help explain recurring conflicts or emotional pain. Focusing on behavior and thought change targets specific habits and unhelpful thinking in the here and now, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Edward works with each person to identify goals and then chooses techniques together that feel most useful. He encourages questions and adjustments so the plan fits the client’s needs and pace rather than assuming a single method will work for everyone.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to try practical strategies between meetings. Because the original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, confirm the session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, steady weekly work, or when travel would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt psychodynamic conversations and behavior-focused exercises to remote sessions, so progress can continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.
