Her background includes long experience in trauma recovery, relationship patterns, and grief work.

That range helps her tailor sessions to real-world needs.

Dr. Schulze uses a mix of therapeutic approaches based on what a person needs in the moment.

The work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.

People who meet with her can expect a steady, problem-solving orientation alongside empathic listening. She supports clients who want clearer boundaries, better communication, and more confidence managing painful feelings. Her goal is to help people leave sessions with practical next steps they can try between meetings.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dr. Schulze uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and small behavioral experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. EFT-style work helps people identify core feelings, improve communication, and try new ways of relating in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each client to match techniques to their goals and comfort level. If trauma is a factor, she may integrate trauma-focused methods to prioritize safety and gradual progress.

Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-ups. Remote work can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and keep momentum toward goals.
