About George

Dr. George O Schulz is an Ohio-licensed psychologist with three decades of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. He focuses on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to improve how people communicate with those they care about. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through openly.

Dr. Schulz uses several approaches to guide therapy, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and EMDR. He describes therapy as collaborative and practical, teaching skills people can use between sessions. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, family problems, and the long effects of past trauma.

His background spans clinical work across age groups and settings over 30 years. He notes that many clients appreciate that their personal beliefs are respected in sessions, and that faith perspectives can be honored when they matter to the client. Dr. Schulz emphasizes empowering people to make their own decisions about beliefs and behavior.

In sessions he helps people address communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, and issues that arise after separation or divorce. He also brings experience with first responder stress, substance use concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome related issues, and mood-related disorders such as disruptive mood dysregulation.

Dr. Schulz works in Ohio as OH Psychologist P.4777 and conducts therapy in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How trauma-informed and focused approaches translate online

Dr. Schulz uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past traumatic events by helping people process distressing memories and reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily life. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of his approach, which means sessions begin with the person’s goals and priorities and follow their pace. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behavior that can ease anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to build useful skills and to make steady, manageable changes over time.

Before booking, confirm the current session options with the provider since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing commute time and making it easier to take a short check-in during a break. Some approaches, like CBT exercises or client-centered conversations, adapt well to remote meetings, while trauma-focused work and EMDR may require discussion about how to proceed online. Discussing practical preferences and any technical needs at the start helps shape sessions that work with everyday life.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
