About Chad
Chad Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, addictions, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as grief, career strain, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and issues around guilt and shame.
Chad frames sessions around the client's own knowledge of their life. He uses clear, practical conversation to identify strengths and gradual steps toward more control over thoughts and feelings. Sessions tend to focus on what the client wants to change and modest, actionable strategies to get there.
He draws on several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. These tools are used to notice unhelpful patterns, practice small behavior changes, and clarify personal values that guide decisions.
Chad pays attention to relationship topics, attachment concerns, and communication problems. He also works with people navigating kink or alternative sex culture, caregiver stress, codependency, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Conversations can include planning for practical steps and trying different ways of responding to difficult emotions.
Chad encourages a steady pace of change rather than quick fixes. He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and helps clients test new approaches between sessions. To begin, he directs people to the service's matching and scheduling process so they can choose a first session that fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps in the directions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers specific exercises to test and shift those links. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and following what the client finds most important in a session.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Chad will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences and adjust over time based on what helps. That collaborative process means trying an approach and then adapting it as you learn what works for you.
