About Walterson
Walterson Torchon is a licensed mental health professional with an MD and LCPC and nine years of clinical experience working with individuals and families on a broad set of concerns.
Background and approach
He supports clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, self-esteem, and communication problems. His background includes roles in mental health clinics, work within criminal justice settings, and school-based counseling with teens.
He practices from a person-centered, strength-based perspective that emphasizes the client as an expert in their own life. Walterson uses an integrative style, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.
He focuses on helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills and healthier habits. Throughout the therapeutic process he aims to provide guidance and support while encouraging clients to develop confidence and actionable coping strategies.
Walterson welcomes those ready to explore change and build tools to meet their goals.
Online approaches that focus on skills and values
Walterson brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work to help clients address unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven habits. CBT offers practical strategies for identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes learning to accept difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action.He treats the choice of therapeutic approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to determine which methods best fit the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between meetings, and access support from home or elsewhere, while allowing the therapist to tailor pacing and exercises to each client’s situation.
