About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He works with teens and adults to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and sleep concerns. He also supports people facing life changes, parenting challenges, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Walter uses a straightforward style in sessions. He focuses on teaching and practicing coping skills and tools that can make day-to-day life easier. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with attention to what the client wants to change and small steps toward those goals.
His background includes a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and several post-graduate clinical credentials earned through examination. Prior to counseling work he served in the United States Coast Guard and worked in corporate sales, experiences he draws on when discussing career and life transitions.
In practice he commonly uses Client-Centered approaches, Solution-Focused work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new strategies. He applies these methods to issues such as trauma recovery, anger, parenting concerns, and sleep difficulties.
Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys walks, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel. His stated aim is to help clients find more joy, heal from hard experiences, and reach the goals they set in therapy.
How these approaches guide online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead to set goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify feelings and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing daily stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and respond with less reactivity. This approach often helps with stress, sleep problems, and emotion regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to match approaches to goals, needs, and personal preferences. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit therapy into a busy day, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. It can also make it simpler to use tools practiced in sessions between meetings, such as breathing exercises, sleep routines, and thought-record worksheets.
