About Edward
Edward Schultze is a Maryland-based therapist with three decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and other concerns. He is David Schultze, MD, LCPC, LPC, and he works with adults who want direct, practical support to improve day-to-day life. His style is down-to-earth and focused on real change rather than jargon.
After many years in a special education school working mainly with adolescents and their families, he moved into independent practice about ten years ago.
Background and approach
Since then he has focused on one-on-one work with adults across a wide range of struggles, including addictions, bipolar issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, and attention difficulties like ADHD. He favors a partnership in which therapist and client decide priorities together. He leans toward psychodynamic thinking but also prioritizes immediate needs.
That means sessions can include behavior changes and practical steps to alter thinking patterns now, not just long-term reflection. Sessions tend to be informal, supportive, and nonjudgmental. He encourages questions and practical problem solving.
His approach aims to balance understanding past patterns with actions that help in the present. Edward has adapted his work to online formats and finds remote care both practical and effective. He uses a range of evidence-based techniques as appropriate and focuses on helping people build hope and manageable change in daily life.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Edward draws on proven, evidence-informed approaches and adapts them for remote sessions. One common strand is psychodynamic work, which looks at patterns from earlier relationships and life events to understand current feelings and behaviors; this helps when longstanding themes keep repeating. He also uses focused behavior-change strategies that set small, practical goals to alter habits and daily routines, useful for sleep problems, parenting routines, and managing mood or anxiety.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person. Adjustments are made over time so techniques match what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy here is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people maintain face-to-face connection while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feelings out helps more than speaking. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into work, family life, or other routines while still getting consistent therapeutic support.
