About Walterson
Walterson Torchon is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with nine years of counseling experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. He does not accept international clients.
He uses a straightforward, practical style. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and tries different ways of responding. Much of his work focuses on everyday skills - coping during life changes, managing anxiety, and handling conflict at home.
His approach draws on several methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques. That mix is used to help people build new habits, reduce distressing thoughts, and improve communication.
He emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals and he guides skill building, such as recognizing patterns of “stinking thinking,” testing new actions, and practicing emotion regulation. Sessions typically focus on concrete steps and short-term strategies alongside longer-term work when needed.
Torchon has experience in clinics, criminal justice settings, and school-based work with teens. That background informs his practical, skills-focused style. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Walterson commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with stress, anxiety, and unhelpful thinking. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing new ways of behaving to reduce distress. ACT emphasizes noticing values and taking committed actions that fit those values even when uncomfortable feelings remain.He also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work practical and person driven, and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. He treats finding the right mix as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that match the person's needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the source biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins at times that work around work or school. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skill practice during sessions and short between-session exercises. Discuss scheduling and format when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions fit daily life.
