About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He works with adults, teens, couples, and parents on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing career questions, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, caregiving strain, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.
He uses Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in sessions. He teaches and practices coping skills aimed at reducing unwanted symptoms. He says he uses evidence-based, mainstream approaches rather than untested methods.
Walter completed a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis. His post-graduate work includes certifications as a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Before counseling he served in the United States Coast Guard and worked in corporate sales.
In practical terms he often focuses on skill building for day-to-day problems. That can mean practicing new communication techniques, testing small behavior changes, or using CBT tools to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood. He also works with people on career and college coaching questions.
Sessions are described as collaborative, with goals you help set. Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog, and spends free time walking, cooking, kayaking, and traveling.
How Walter blends approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and aims to make sessions feel collaborative; the therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses concrete exercises and experiments to change patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Walter will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands to recommend an approach or mix of approaches. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can shift as needs change.
The profile does not specify which session formats he currently offers, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or letting someone choose audio-only if bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or study routines without promising a particular format.
