Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Walter uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s perspective guides the process - this approach helps people feel heard and supports personal growth and clearer decision making. He also frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured method that examines connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. In addition, Walter integrates mindfulness-based practices that encourage present-moment awareness and stress reduction, useful for chronic worry, emotional regulation, and improving sleep.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Walter works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, evaluate which methods fit best, and adjust techniques as needs and preferences evolve. This process helps tailor care to what actually works for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access support from home, during breaks, or while traveling. These options make scheduling easier and help people maintain continuity of care when life or location changes, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver effective, evidence-based interventions remotely.
