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!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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!
