About Edward
Edward Schultze is a Maryland-based therapist with three decades of experience. He works one on one with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or changes that feel overwhelming. He aims to be practical, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental during sessions.
He spent 35 years in a special education school before moving into independent practice about ten years ago. That background shaped his ability to stay calm in difficult conversations and to break problems into manageable steps.
How Edward works
He draws on a range of methods and keeps the immediate needs of the person in focus. In sessions he pays attention to current patterns of thinking and behavior. He also uses longer-term psychodynamic ideas to understand where problems may come from.
The work often blends short-term behavior changes with talking about underlying patterns when that feels useful. He has worked extensively with trauma and abuse and with a variety of mental health concerns including bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, and sleep problems. He respects the effort it takes for someone to step back and address painful areas of life and encourages openness and hope.
Remote sessions are part of his practice. He has adapted to video, phone, chat, and messaging formats and finds them practical and effective. He welcomes questions and aims to partner with each person to figure out helpful next steps.

How evidence-based techniques translate online
Edward Schultze uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine attention to current behavior and thinking with psychodynamic insight. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in the moment to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. This method teaches practical skills to try between sessions so people can see tangible results quickly.Another approach draws on psychodynamic ideas to look for recurring patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem. This helps when problems keep returning despite short-term fixes and a person wants to understand deeper roots of their reactions. Both approaches are described plainly and used flexibly to match each person's needs.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust the plan over time. That partnership helps shape whether to prioritize immediate behavior change, thought work, or exploring deeper patterns.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter exchanges, notes between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
