Walter has been very helpful and suggested several great copying tools for me to use in stressful situations but also generally in life to be a happier person. He was also always very responsive via betterhelp chat and was sending more ideas even after our weekly calls.

More about Walter

7 years' experience
Male
LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri with 7 years of counseling experience with teens, adults, couples, and parents. My education includes a Masters degree in Counseling from the University of Missouri – Saint Louis. My Post Graduate training includes passing exams to earn professional Certifications in: Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Treatment approaches that I most often use with clients are: Client Centered, Solution Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions I may share, teach, and practice improved coping skills that are aimed at hopefully lowering your non-preferred symptoms. Only evidence based, mainstream approaches will be used with my clients.

Where I bring value to my clients would be counseling adults and teens experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, recovery from trauma, anger management, grief/loss, parenting issues, coping with life changes, motivation, self-esteem, low confidence, multicultural concerns, college and career coaching, Military/Veterans life issues, PTSD, First Responders, Healthcare workers, ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, school concerns, Parent coaching, Eldercare, and caregiving fatigue.

My past work experiences include serving in the United States Coast Guard, working in corporate sales, and 7 years of counseling teens and adults.

I am a happily married man, share one teen daughter, and a loyal rescue dog! On our off time you can find us taking walks, cooking, listening to music, kayaking, and traveling.

My mission is to help others find joy again, heal, and experience life at much higher and happier level. The aim will always be that therapy sessions are a non-judgmental safe place where you feel supported and that you reach your goals that you set for yourself. I look forward to meeting and helping you!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wise, patient and courteous.

Walter has been helpful and very good at working with my own pace when it comes to therapy, since I’ve never had a therapist before.

Walter was very helpful as I tried to navigate midlife challenges with marriage and family. He was compassionate, straightforward, and was always trying to find concrete solutions to try.

Wally is exceptional, caring and open. He helped me through my father's death and made a huge impact.

Walter is very easy to talk to, is not judgemental, listens well, and gives great advice. You can tell Walt really cares about his clients. Thanks Walt.

One session so far. Very helpful and respectful. I would definitely recommend Walter to others!

I was nervous at first, as I am sure most people are to begin the journey that is self-help and therapy, however after only a couple sessions I am not only seeing some very positive changes in my mentality, but find my Therapist a very good fit for myself and the goals I have laid out. Can't recommend this platform enough, and Wally is certainly well equipped, kind and straight forward with his approach to Therapy. Thanks a million Wally

Super nice guy and easy to talk to

Wally has been a stable source of support for my anxiety. He listens to my thoughts and concerns and is able to repeat them back to me in a clarifying way. He asks questions that allows me to expand in my feelings and challenge my thoughts. He is great at giving a different outlook and management styles. I have been successful in changing some bad habits from his advice. Wally is a down to earth counselor and I feel like I can talk to him like a close friend.

Wally has been incredibly kind and helpful while guiding me toward tools to deal with my anxiety. He's just great!
