About Walter

Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. Walter aims to make sessions feel direct and useful so clients leave with clearer steps to try between meetings.

He draws on client-centered work to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

He also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice and calm intense feelings in the moment. In sessions Walter often teaches and practices coping skills tailored to what the person needs. He focuses on skills that can reduce symptoms and make daily life easier.

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, and homework or short exercises are commonly used to reinforce progress. Walter's background includes a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and service in the United States Coast Guard. He has worked in corporate sales and spent seven years providing counseling to teens and adults, bringing both structure and real-world perspective to sessions.

He supports people dealing with relationship strain, career or school issues, ADHD and autism spectrum concerns, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and recovery from trauma. Walter also works with people facing parenting challenges, sleep problems, body image, commitment and communication problems, and the emotional effects of major life transitions.

Outside of work he is married, has a teen daughter, and shares life with a rescue dog. He enjoys walking, cooking, listening to music, kayaking, and traveling.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, or anger when practiced regularly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Together they set clear goals and review what works, so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, each offering different practical benefits. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving duties and to continue therapy when travel or relocation happens.
