Edward Schultze, LCPC, LPC

Edward Schultze is a licensed counselor who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, addictions, and life changes. He works with people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and self-esteem issues. He aims to make therapy straightforward and down to earth for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

He practiced for 35 years in a special education school, mainly supporting adolescents and their families. About ten years ago he moved into private practice and now focuses on one-on-one work with adults of all ages. That history shapes his calm, practical approach and his respect for people who choose to address hard problems.

Clients find him easy-going, supportive, informal, practical and nonjudgmental. He emphasizes a partnership in therapy and values the relationship as the foundation for change. He encourages curiosity and questions, and invites clients to ask as many questions as they need.

He describes his orientation as psychodynamically-influenced while also prioritizing immediate, practical changes. That can mean working on behaviors and thinking patterns in the here and now when that will help most. The focus is on realistic steps that a person can try between sessions.

He has adapted to offer remote work since the pandemic and has found it useful and effective in many cases. People considering therapy can expect a conversational, problem-solving focus and a therapist who respects their courage in reaching out.

Practical therapy approaches and online care

Edward draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice and understand patterns that affect current feelings and relationships. This approach looks at recurring themes in a person’s life and how past experiences can shape present reactions, useful for grief, relationship concerns, and trauma-related patterns.

He also focuses on changing behavior and thinking in the here and now. That can involve setting small, practical goals, trying new ways of coping, and practicing different thought patterns to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, improve sleep, or tackle addiction-related urges.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. He discusses options with each person, tailors techniques to individual needs and goals, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to find what feels most helpful rather than imposing a single method.

He has experience providing remote therapy and has found it practical and effective. The reader should confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people stay connected when leaving home is difficult.
