About Walterson
Walterson Torchon, MD, LCPC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. He works with individuals facing life changes, anger, ADHD challenges, and self-esteem issues. He also supports people who want clearer communication skills.
Walterson keeps sessions person-centered and focused on strengths. He treats each person as the expert on their life and listens first to understand priorities. Then he offers practical skills and tools chosen to address the specific problem at hand.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of techniques rather than a single method. That can include behavioral strategies, mindset shifts, and goal-focused conversations. The aim is to replace unhelpful habits and thoughts with healthier patterns that fit everyday life.
Before practicing in personal settings Walterson worked in clinics connected to the criminal justice system and as a school-based therapist for teens. That experience shaped his direct, pragmatic approach to difficult topics like trauma and loss. He now brings nine years of counseling experience to sessions in Maryland.
In sessions he guides and coaches while keeping the focus on each person’s goals. People can expect a collaborative process that balances empathy with concrete steps. He supports parents navigating parenting stress and helps people rebuild confidence after hard times.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports parenting stress, anxiety, and life changes by helping people act on their values even when emotions are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and attention-related difficulties.The therapist will work with each person to find the best approach. That choice is collaborative and based on the person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the work fits real life and moves toward clear, achievable goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and coaching, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and to try approaches that match how someone prefers to communicate.
