Online support

How Walter’s approaches fit into online therapy

Walter draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify meaning, face difficult choices, and cope with life transitions. This approach focuses on personal values and the questions people bring when life feels uncertain or painful.

He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to strengthen emotional connection and understanding. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns, while client-centered work centers the person's experience and pace in each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Walter treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits best based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on meaning, relational patterns, or practical skills.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or tracking progress between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care from different locations and to match format to the moment's needs.
