Walter Scull, LPC

Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. He brings seven years of counseling experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions. Walter aims to help people lower distressing symptoms and move toward clearer goals.

He uses Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused ideas, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide work in the room. That looks like talking through current problems, practicing new coping skills, and trying small changes between sessions. He will teach techniques and coach clients on ways to handle stress, anxiety, anger, and sleep troubles.

Walter has worked with teens and adults on relationship struggles, grief and loss, depression, motivation, and self-esteem. He also supports people facing caregiving strain, eldercare concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and autism spectrum differences. Military and first responder life issues are part of his background as well.

His prior experience includes service in the United States Coast Guard and a background in corporate sales alongside seven years in counseling roles. Walter holds a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Missouri Saint Louis and brings that blend of structure and real-world perspective to sessions.

Outside work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys walks, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel, and aims to make therapy a nonjudgmental place for people to heal and find more joy.

Approaches for online sessions and how they help

Walter often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so they feel heard and supported. This approach helps when someone needs space to process feelings like grief, stress, or relationship strain.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and improving daily routines through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Walter will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused sessions with skill building and short, goal-oriented tasks between meetings.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone-based conversations when video would be difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. The focus is on making therapy work with everyday life while using approaches that help address the concerns you bring.
