How these approaches translate to online work
Dr. Schulze commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on noticing and naming feelings so relationships and self-understanding can shift.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in from different locations. It also allows for shorter focused check-ins when a full session is not needed and can support steady progress between in-person appointments if desired.
