About Walter
Walter "Baruch" Zeichner offers down-to-earth support for people facing everyday and long-standing struggles. He welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. His approach aims to make therapy understandable and doable, so parents and busy adults can fit help into real life.
Walter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with four decades of clinical work based in New Mexico.
Background and approach
He learned early on from a group of therapists using several methods, and he keeps a flexible toolbox to meet different needs. That toolbox includes talk therapy, creative methods, body-centered techniques, cognitive approaches, and hypnosis. He also trained as a career counselor and uses that experience when work and purpose are part of the concern.
In a typical session he listens for the concrete problems behind the feelings. Then he helps set small, clear goals and practical steps. He encourages clients to guide the pace and direction of the work so therapy matches their life and aims.
Over 40 years Walter has helped people move through life changes, loss, and trauma. He emphasizes direct communication and useful skills, alongside attention to emotional bonds and patterns. He aims to create a straightforward space where people can begin to feel and act differently.
If someone decides to start, Walter asks clients to share what feels most urgent first. From there he tailors approaches to each persons needs and preferences, focusing on useful tools and steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build safer emotional connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change them, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps partners or individuals identify core emotions and shift how they respond in close relationships to improve connection and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Walter will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit. He treats the plan as collaborative and adjusts methods over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation limits, or continue care from a distance. Therapists use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and hold emotional conversations in ways that match each persons life and needs.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
