Chad Walters, LPC

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Chad uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding - this approach supports self-exploration, confidence, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build coping skills - it is often effective for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chad works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he may blend techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and adapt the format to what helps the client engage most effectively with therapy.
