Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He works directly with teens and adults and aims to make therapy approachable and practical. Walter focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation.

He uses client-centered methods along with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused ideas. In sessions he teaches and practices coping skills people can use between meetings. The goal is to lower symptoms that cause day-to-day struggle and to build skills that fit into real life.

Walter has helped clients dealing with trauma recovery, anger management, depression, parenting concerns, career and college coaching, and challenges related to ADHD and the autism spectrum. He also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, caregiving strain, or loss. His background includes service in the United States Coast Guard and work in corporate sales, which he brings into his practical approach to problem solving.

He aims to offer a nonjudgmental space where clients set their own goals and work toward them at a steady pace. Sessions include teaching, practicing skills, and reviewing progress. Walter talks directly about what’s working and what needs to change so people can see meaningful shifts.

Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys walking, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel with his family.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for relationship worries, low confidence, and when someone needs a calm, steady space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches specific skills and short exercises to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. Simple attention exercises are taught and practiced to ease stress and improve focus. This approach pairs well with CBT and client-centered work when managing strong emotions or ongoing worry.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific session formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter meeting helps. Ask about current session options during the matching and scheduling steps.
