About Walterson
Walterson Torchon is a licensed counselor with an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential.

Walterson works in Maryland and offers services in English and Haitian Creole. He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He believes clients know their lives best and treats people with respect and plain talk.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills to handle strong emotions and to improve communication. Walterson guides people to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. His approach blends several therapies to match each person’s needs.
He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to rework thinking patterns and acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values. He also uses client-centered listening to create space for people to tell their story without judgment. Over nine years of work in clinical settings shapes his style.
He has experience in mental health clinics and school-based roles, and has supported people affected by trauma and loss. That background informs how he helps people regain control after difficult events. In sessions, the focus is on practical changes.
People leave with small, doable steps to practice between meetings. The goal is better self-control, clearer communication, and more confidence managing life’s ups and downs.

Approaches that guide online work and emotional skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anger, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping skills for anxiety, stress, and anger management.
Walterson treats finding the right approach as a shared process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods from ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening. The plan can change as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for quick check-ins, skill reminders, and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
