About Walter
Walter "Baruch" Zeichner is an LPC and LCMHC practicing in New Mexico with 40 years of experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, trauma and other common life problems. He works with individuals and couples to address current problems and past wounds.
He uses straightforward talk and practical skills to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach he includes alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. Sessions may also draw on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when useful.
Zeichner trained in the early 1980s with a group of therapists who used a range of methods. Over decades he has added creative and body-centered techniques and experience as a career counselor. That variety gives him multiple ways to approach concerns like blocked creativity, self-esteem, intimacy issues, and career questions.
In sessions he encourages clients to set direction and goals so therapy stays practical. He talks about coping with life changes, caregiver stress, aging issues, chronic pain and illness, and specific concerns such as eating and food-related problems, HIV/AIDS, and first responder issues.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Walter Zeichner draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect stress and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear listening and using the client’s own goals to guide each session.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will review your concerns and goals and discuss which methods feel most useful. Together you set priorities and try concrete techniques to see what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote work helps them practice new skills in their regular routines, and the clinician will adjust pacing and tools to match each person’s circumstances.
