About Chad
Chad Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with four years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and the challenges that come with life changes. Chad also supports clients concerned with career questions, grief, relationship difficulties, and LGBT issues.
Chad frames therapy around the idea that each person knows their story best. He uses practical conversations to identify strengths and to help people regain more control over feelings and thoughts. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, not just ideas discussed in the room.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thought patterns and how they shape behavior. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s perspective. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing techniques are used when they fit the person’s goals.
Chad is direct and straightforward in session. He helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress regularly. He talks about setbacks as part of change and works on practical strategies for coping with impulses, guilt, or isolation.
People who choose Chad often want a pragmatic approach that blends skills work with personal reflection. He asks about what’s getting in the way now and helps build clear steps to move forward.
How his therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Chad uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting small experiments and practicing new skills between meetings, which can translate well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common part of his work and focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the client's perspective and priorities, letting the person steer what matters most.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Chad collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. He checks in about how techniques are working and adjusts the plan as needed.
