About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He works with adults and teens on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma recovery, and life transitions. Walter also lists areas such as ADHD, parenting challenges, career and college coaching, grief, and caregiver fatigue.
He trained at the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and has experience both in clinical settings and earlier roles in the United States Coast Guard and corporate sales. Those varied experiences inform a practical, straightforward way of working with people. Sessions typically include learning and practicing concrete coping skills to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Walter commonly uses client-centered approaches alongside solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy. That means conversations center on the person's goals, skills are practiced between sessions, and thought-behavior links are explored when helpful. He states a preference for evidence-based, mainstream methods rather than experimental techniques.
He lists a broad set of focus areas from relationship and intimacy issues to career, sleep, and anger concerns. He also notes experience with multicultural matters, military and first responder issues, autism spectrum conditions, and eldercare stresses. Walter accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Outside work he is married, has a teen daughter, and enjoys walking, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel. The practical aim he gives is to help people reduce symptoms and work toward the goals they set for themselves.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Walter frequently uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening to the person's concerns and helping them set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs space to clarify values, direction, or personal priorities.He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, or unhelpful behaviors. CBT sessions often include practicing new skills and short exercises to test different ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Walter aims to collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options and adjusts methods as progress is tracked together.
