About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. He has seven years of counseling experience and uses straightforward, practical methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Walter’s style is direct and supportive, aimed at teaching coping skills that fit daily life.
He earned a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri - Saint Louis. Walter also completed post graduate training and holds certifications in clinical telemental health and clinical trauma practice.
Background and approach
His background includes service in the United States Coast Guard and work in corporate sales before moving into counseling. In sessions he commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused techniques. That means he listens first, then helps clients test small changes, learn new ways of thinking, and practice skills between meetings.
The work often focuses on lowering symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Walter has worked with teens, adults, couples, and parents, handling issues such as anger, parenting concerns, ADHD, addiction-related stress, career coaching, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with trauma, PTSD, first responder and healthcare worker stress, and life transitions.
He aims to offer practical tools rather than abstract theories. Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys cooking, kayaking, music, and travel.
Walter approaches therapy as a partnership where goals are set together and progress is measured in real life changes.
Online approaches that focus on change and coping
Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening carefully and following the client’s lead. The therapist validates experience, helps set practical goals, and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses short exercises and homework to test new thoughts and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily realities. That means trying an approach and adjusting it together until it fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These options allow for regular contact, quick check-ins, and practicing skills between meetings. The flexible formats help people keep momentum and use the techniques in real time.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
