About Walter

Walter Scull is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with seven years of clinical experience. He holds a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Missouri–Saint Louis and has worked with adults, teens, couples, and parents. He lists a wide range of concerns he addresses, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and blended family issues.

Scull often uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. In sessions he teaches and practices coping skills aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning. He says he uses evidence-based approaches and adapts practical tools to the matters a person brings.

His background includes service in the United States Coast Guard and experience in corporate sales before moving into counseling. That mix informs a practical style and a focus on clear, usable strategies. He also notes work with military and first responder concerns as part of his practice.

Scull describes helping with career and college coaching, caregiver stress, parenting concerns for individuals, and challenges around motivation and self-esteem. He also lists grief, anger management, and recovery from trauma among his focus areas. Readers should note that session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking.

Outside work he is married, has a teen daughter, and a rescue dog. He enjoys walking, cooking, music, kayaking, and travel when he is not counseling.

How he uses evidence-based approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a working relationship. It helps people who want a conversational approach to sorting out feelings and making choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It involves learning practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing different ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It can be used alongside other approaches to help with sleep problems, stress, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use a mix of skill teaching, short practical exercises, and discussion to make sessions useful for everyday life.
