About Walter

Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults and teens on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and anger.

His background includes service in the United States Coast Guard and work in corporate sales before moving into counseling.

In session he uses client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral approaches. He often teaches and practices coping skills aimed at lowering symptoms people find distressing. Conversations are direct and skill-focused, with an emphasis on what someone can try between sessions.

Walter helps people dealing with trauma recovery, parenting challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, ADHD and autism spectrum issues, career and college coaching, and stress affecting first responders and healthcare workers. He also supports those coping with grief, caregiving fatigue, and life transitions.

Outside work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys walks, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel. The practical aim of his work is to help people find more enjoyment and function better in daily life.

How Walter uses practical approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific strategies to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Walter will talk with clients about goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and based on the client's needs and preferences.

The therapist's online offerings are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel. If video is difficult, phone or other supported options may require less bandwidth or let a person keep cameras off. Discussing practical session arrangements happens during the initial scheduling process.
