Edward Schultze, LCPC, LPC

Edward Schultze is a licensed counselor who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. He works with adults of all ages and focuses on practical steps that can reduce daily stress and improve relationships. He aims to build a respectful partnership where people feel heard and able to try new ways of coping.

Edward brings three decades of counseling experience to his work, including long service in special education with adolescents and their families before moving to private practice. That background shaped his patient, down-to-earth style and his willingness to address both immediate problems and deeper patterns. He describes his approach as informal and nonjudgmental.

In sessions he balances attention to present needs with longer-term understanding. That can mean working on behavior change in the moment, and on shifting unhelpful thinking patterns that keep problems going. He emphasizes the working relationship as the foundation for progress and treats therapy as a collaborative process.

Edward is trained and licensed as an LCPC in Maryland and an LPC in Delaware. He has significant experience with trauma, abuse, mood disorders, addiction concerns, parenting stress, relationship issues, sleep problems, and attention difficulties. He encourages questions and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.

If someone wants to begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Edward describes his work as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping things practical. One approach he often uses focuses on changing behavior in the here and now by identifying small, concrete steps a person can try between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. This is helpful for sleep problems, mood symptoms, and addictive habits.

He also attends to thinking patterns, helping people notice and test unhelpful thoughts so they lose some of their power. That kind of work can ease anxiety, depression, and difficulties with self esteem. Alongside these techniques he values psychodynamic ideas about patterns and relationships to understand deeper sources of recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and daily life. He encourages questions and adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clear.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and day-to-day life. For specifics about session formats and how meetings are scheduled, confirm the current options before booking. The focus is on making sessions workable for everyday routines rather than promising a particular delivery method.
