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 anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma recovery, and stress. Walter’s background includes a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and clinical certifications earned after graduate study.

He uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people learn specific coping skills. Sessions often include practical practice of techniques meant to reduce troubling symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods are frequent tools in his sessions.

His experience also covers grief and loss, parenting struggles, anger management, motivation and self-esteem work, and support for first responders, military veterans, and healthcare workers. He has worked with people on the autism spectrum, ADHD/ADD, and with those facing eldercare or caregiver stress.

Before counseling, Walter served in the United States Coast Guard and worked in corporate sales. That mix of experiences informs his direct, goal-focused style and his interest in practical problem solving. He combines real-world perspective with counseling skills.

Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys walking, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial session and confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy methods translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the person’s priorities and build working goals together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In online sessions CBT often includes teaching practical skills, trying short exercises during the session, and assigning simple practices to use between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing present-moment experience without judgment. Online meetings can include guided breathing, short attention practices, and ways to bring awareness into everyday routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Walter will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That review may change over time as needs shift.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer audio-only options when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
