About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He works with adults and teens on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and coping with life changes. He also lists family of origin issues among his focus areas.
He holds a master's degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri - Saint Louis. His background includes military service in the United States Coast Guard and work in corporate sales before moving into counseling. That mix of experiences shapes a straightforward, practical style.
Walter often uses client-centered work to focus on what a person values and wants. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable steps.
In sessions he shares and practices coping skills aimed at lowering symptoms like worry, low mood, sleeplessness, and anger. He describes his methods as evidence-based and mainstream. The work tends to be practical and skills-focused, with concrete tools people can use between sessions.
He lists additional concerns he commonly addresses, including parenting and caregiver stress, ADHD and autism spectrum challenges, intimacy and communication problems, career and college coaching, and recovery from trauma. Walter notes experience with military and first responder life issues as part of his background.
Outside of work he is married with a teen daughter and a rescue dog. His off-hours include walking, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and values. Online sessions using this approach involve listening, reflective feedback, and planning steps that fit a person's life. It helps when someone wants to clarify priorities or make sense of patterns from their family of origin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means learning simple exercises, tracking patterns between meetings, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.
Mindfulness Therapy can teach attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve focus. These exercises can be demonstrated and practiced during an online meeting and repeated between sessions to build habit.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily routines, and then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Many people appreciate remote sessions because they can fit meetings into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in without needing to be on camera. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and for the type of activities you want to practice between sessions.
