About Chad
Chad Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who uses practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. He presents a straightforward style and focuses on helping clients regain a sense of control over thoughts and emotions. Chad believes each person knows their story best.
He blends problem-solving with listening to help people notice their strengths and build on them. Sessions emphasize small, concrete steps that can change day-to-day feelings and behavior.
Background and approach
With four years of experience, Chad works with concerns that include coping with life changes, grief, career questions, and relationship struggles. He also supports people facing attention and mood challenges like ADHD and bipolar concerns, and those dealing with compassion fatigue or caregiver stress.
His approach draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness work, client-centered techniques, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, set values-based goals, and try new behaviors between sessions. Chad often helps people who are wrestling with attachment or communication problems, codependency, or feelings of isolation.
He also provides a nonjudgmental space for topics that can feel sensitive, including kink and alternative sexual culture. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and motivation concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. These approaches include simple exercises and homework that work well over video or messaging.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Chad will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they choose techniques to try, adjust based on progress, and set realistic steps to practice between sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support, and an easier way to fit therapy into a busy day.
