About Chad

Chad Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who draws on person-centered and evidence-based methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

He emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life and works collaboratively to identify personal strengths, build motivation, and regain a sense of control over thoughts, emotions, and daily routines. With four years of clinical experience, he blends practical skills with a respectful, nonjudgmental stance to support progress over time.

Chad’s practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, career struggles, compassion fatigue, bipolar presentations, and attention-related challenges including ADHD. He integrates techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

He aims to make change feel manageable by breaking goals into concrete steps and reinforcing the skills that help clients move toward more satisfying daily lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward what matters, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to shift patterns, which often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel understood while exploring goals and choices.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic plan. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailor techniques from these approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make attending sessions simpler around work, family, and other commitments. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing skill practice between appointments, supporting steady progress regardless of where someone is located in Wisconsin.
