About Edward
Edward Schultze is a licensed clinical professional counselor with credentials as an LCPC in Maryland and an LPC in Delaware and brings 30 years of experience to his work. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, mood issues, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, adjusting to life changes, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away.
He spent 35 years working in a special education school, mainly with adolescents and their families. About ten years ago he moved into private practice and has since worked one on one with adults of all ages. That background shaped his straightforward, practical approach to common life problems.
His style is relaxed and informal. He values a collaborative relationship and treats therapy as a partnership. He combines longer-term thinking about patterns with short-term work on behavior and thought changes that help people feel better in daily life.
When addressing anger he looks at immediate behaviors and the thoughts that fuel them, while also considering longer patterns that keep anger recurring. He uses evidence-based techniques aimed at changing what people do and how they think in the moment, alongside psychodynamic ideas about earlier influences when relevant.
He learned to provide services remotely during the pandemic and found remote work can be practical and effective. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions and to discuss goals up front so sessions focus on what matters most to them.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them
Edward draws on psychodynamic ideas and direct behavior-focused work. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and past influences that contribute to current feelings and reactions. It can help when anger shows up in repeated ways tied to earlier experiences. He also uses behavior change methods that focus on what someone does in the moment. These techniques teach practical skills to interrupt reactive patterns, manage impulses, and try different responses in daily situations. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He works collaboratively to decide whether exploring patterns, practicing new behaviors, or both will best match the client’s goals and circumstances. For online work he has experience providing therapy remotely and has found it can be effective and practical. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know the formats offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that is useful, and remove commute time so people can work on behavior and thought changes without rearranging their whole day.Areas of expertise
