   About Walterson

   Walterson Torchon is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. He also supports those facing trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, self-esteem issues, intimacy-related problems, and major life changes. Walterson speaks English and Haitian Creole, which can help people express themselves more comfortably.

   He uses a person-centered, strength-based style. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and build practical skills. Walterson aims to guide people as they shift unhelpful thoughts and habits into more effective patterns.

   His approach blends several therapeutic methods. Motivational Interviewing is part of the work to help people find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers ways to identify and change thinking patterns that increase distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify values and commit to meaningful actions.

   He draws on nine years of experience in different settings, including clinics and schools, where he worked with people affected by trauma, loss, and conflict. That background informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach in sessions.

   Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. The therapist listens, reflects, and offers tools people can use between meetings. Clients who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by using open questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance. It works well for decisions about behavior, motivation, and moving through ambivalence.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to choose actions that match what matters most.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new behaviors that reduce distress.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
   
   If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, cut travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work remains practical and goal-focused.
