About Walter
Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with seven years of counseling experience. He focuses on clear, practical work that helps people lower stress, manage anxiety, and navigate grief or life changes. Walter keeps language simple and aims to make sessions easy to understand for someone feeling overwhelmed.
He leans on client-centered approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to guide conversations toward useful steps.
How Walter works
In sessions he teaches coping skills and practices strategies with clients so they can try them between meetings. The emphasis is on skills that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. His background includes a master’s degree in counseling and time served in the United States Coast Guard, followed by work in corporate sales before moving into counseling.
Those experiences shape a direct, task-oriented style that many people find grounding. He has worked with adults and teens across a wide range of concerns including relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. Walter also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, career decisions, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues.
He describes sessions as non-judgmental and focused on the goals the client sets. He aims to help people rebuild joy and function at a higher level. Outside of counseling, he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog.
He enjoys walking, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel, and brings a calm, relatable presence to his work.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify their goals and values, which can be useful for relationship concerns, identity questions, or low confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Walter will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change over time as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth sessions with visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based formats allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, manage ongoing coaching or skill practice, and stay connected when travel or scheduling would otherwise get in the way.
