About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions.
Walter uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to listen and understand each person’s goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are added when people want tools for day-to-day coping. In sessions clients can expect skill-building for sleep, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Walter offers help with career and college coaching, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption, aging, or chronic illness.
He also addresses identity and LGBT concerns and supports people recovering from abuse or disaster-related stress. His background includes a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and experience working with teens and adults in a range of settings.
He served in the United States Coast Guard and has a history in corporate sales, which informs a practical problem-solving style. Walter describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space and to teach coping skills people can use between sessions.
Outside work he enjoys family time, walking with his dog, kayaking, and traveling.
Approach-focused care through online sessions
Walter commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting connection so clients can set their own goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques together, and adjust the approach based on what helps most. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's needs and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and role-play. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework guidance, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
