About Walterson

Walterson Torchon is a licensed mental health professional who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and ADHD.

Walterson speaks English and Haitian Creole and practices in Maryland as MD, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

He believes clients know their lives best and builds on their strengths. Sessions are person-centered and collaborative.

Background and approach

He draws from different methods to fit the situation rather than using one fixed formula. In visits he helps people learn skills to change unhelpful thinking and habits. That may include practice in noticing thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying new behaviors.

He also supports families in conflict and people coping with loss or trauma. His background includes work in mental health clinics, school-based settings, and with clients involved in criminal justice contexts. Over nine years he has seen a wide range of concerns and has experience with teens and adults in structured environments.

Therapy is practical and goal-focused. Walterson aims to guide and encourage clients as they build confidence and new routines. He uses tools from evidence-based therapies and adapts them to each person’s needs.

Evidence-informed approaches and online convenience

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then take steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to build different habits and reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and can be useful for motivation and goal-setting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Walterson will discuss approaches with each person and help decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That way therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life. The plan is flexible and can combine methods based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video and phone visits let people connect from home or work while live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter, frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue work between scheduled sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
