About George

Dr. George O Schulz is an Ohio licensed psychologist with three decades of experience helping families and parents navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can try between sessions.

He aims to build a trusting space where people can talk about concerns without feeling judged. Dr. Schulz has worked with a wide age range and across family situations, and he often addresses communication breakdowns and interpersonal conflict.

Background and approach

He teaches clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries so daily life becomes more manageable. He also brings experience supporting people coping with trauma and mood difficulties. His training includes methods that focus on the person in front of him and on changing unhelpful thinking and habits.

He uses client-centered listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work. Those approaches shape sessions into a mix of understanding and practical skill-building. Dr.

Schulz also integrates techniques for processing distressing memories when they are present, and he uses mindfulness practices to help people manage stress in the moment. He aims to match tools to each family’s needs rather than applying a single approach to everyone. He works from Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

His style is respectful of clients' beliefs and choices; he supports each person’s right to make decisions about their own values and life direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Schulz uses client-centered methods that focus on listening closely and following what matters most to the person in the room. This approach helps parents and family members feel heard and drives the goals set in therapy.

He also relies on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and relationships. CBT provides concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns and offers skills parents can use when family tensions rise. Emotionally-focused therapy is another element he uses to help partners and family members understand and repair attachment and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different methods and together decide what fits the family’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative planning shapes each session and the skills practiced between visits.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, keep continuity during transitions, and allow follow-up between meetings. Many parents appreciate being able to try tools in real time and then check in quickly by message when questions come up.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
