About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. He uses down-to-earth language and practical tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and ADHD-related challenges. Walter aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and learn skills that help day-to-day life.
He draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals in focus.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his routine for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses solution-focused and narrative techniques to help people find what works and reframe difficult stories. Sessions often include learning and practicing coping strategies.
Clients may work on sleep routines, anger management, motivation, or dealing with grief and life changes. Walter also supports people facing workplace stress, caregiving strain, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Walter spent time in the United States Coast Guard and later worked in corporate sales before moving into counseling.
That background informs his practical, action-oriented approach and his work with military and first responder concerns. He holds a master's degree in counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and maintains a focus on mainstream, evidence-based methods. Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog.
He enjoys cooking, kayaking, music, and travel. His goal in sessions is to help people heal, regain joy, and reach the goals they set for themselves.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It prioritizes listening, understanding, and shaping sessions around the client's goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and some ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match personal goals and day-to-day needs. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, then adding narrative or mindfulness tools if they feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging helps keep progress going between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives, manage caregiving demands, or stay connected while traveling.
