About Xavier
Xavier Walker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He creates a calm setting where people can talk honestly about what feels hard.
He keeps language simple and practical. Sessions are aimed at finding small, doable changes that make day-to-day life easier. Xavier draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
He uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build steady coping skills for mood challenges and impulse control. Many clients come to him for help with life transitions, grief, career concerns, or relationship and intimacy-related worries. He also supports people facing panic attacks, mood and personality challenges, and issues such as body image or feelings of emptiness.
Conversations focus on practical strategies and the client’s goals. Xavier encourages a collaborative process where the person’s values guide the work. He believes steady progress comes from simple steps repeated over time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping clients name what matters to them so goals are clear and personal. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Xavier will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles appear so the process stays relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth talks and skill coaching, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings.
