About Chad
Chad Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and depression. Chad approaches sessions as a partnership where the client is the expert on their own life.
He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to meet people where they are. That means identifying personal values, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small behavior changes.
How Chad works
Sessions often include mindfulness exercises and motivational conversations to build momentum for change. Chad works with a wide range of issues beyond mood and anxiety. He supports people facing relationship and family concerns, grief, career questions, and life transitions.
He also has experience with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and struggles with isolation or shame. He pays attention to attachment patterns, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Chad is also familiar with alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink and helps people address related questions without judgment.
His approach aims to make progress manageable and practical. Clients can expect straightforward conversations and actionable steps between sessions. Chad emphasizes strengths and achievable goals so people can regain a sense of control.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose small steps that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and habits. In remote CBT, sessions include practical homework and brief skill practices to use between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, quick skill practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.Start online instead of waiting
