About Chad
Chad Walters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He also supports people who are navigating relationship struggles, grief, career strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and codependency.
Chad believes clients are the experts on their own lives. He uses that view to build practical steps you can try between sessions. In conversation he helps identify strengths, notice patterns that drain energy, and set small goals to regain a sense of control over thoughts and feelings.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot thinking habits that worsen mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify personal values and take committed action despite difficult feelings. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Sessions are straightforward and problem-focused. Chad encourages clear, usable skills rather than lengthy interpretation. He also uses motivational interviewing strategies when people want help with change around substance use or other habits.
People who reach out often want concrete tools for setting boundaries, managing overwhelm, or recovering from someone else's crisis behavior. Chad helps people notice what they can change and what they cannot, then plan manageable steps toward greater day-to-day stability.
How sessions work
Using ACT, CBT and client-centered work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks you to name what matters and practice small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with anxiety, codependency patterns, and getting unstuck when worry gets in the way of action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a trusting working relationship so clients can choose their next steps with support.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chad will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean practicing mindfulness exercises, doing short behavioral experiments between sessions, or using motivational interviewing techniques when someone is weighing change.

Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, or allowing sessions during lunch breaks or quieter windows at home. Licensed professionals can adjust pace and tools to match what works for everyday schedules and needs.
