She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coaching. Her work focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and improve daily functioning.

Dr. Schulze uses a collaborative, adaptive style. She draws from evidence-based therapies to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns. In sessions she works on coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to reduce symptoms of trauma and anxiety.

Her background includes decades of clinical work with people facing major life changes. That experience informs how she balances short-term goals and deeper therapeutic work. She combines structured tools with space to talk through painful events.

She also helps people with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family of origin issues. Practical problem-solving is a regular part of sessions when needed.

Dr. Schulze incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when appropriate. She adapts these methods to match what each person needs and what they can use between sessions.

Clients can expect clear goals, skill practice, and regular review of progress. Her approach emphasizes measurable steps to handle stress and improve relationships over time.

Approaches used and how online sessions are arranged

Dr. Schulze commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic memories and building strategies to manage triggers and dissociation.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those skills are needed. DBT skills can help with intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the clinical work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what is working.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused techniques to remote sessions so clients can learn skills and practice them between meetings.
