Walter "Baruch" Zeichner , LPC, LCMHC

Walter "Baruch" Zeichner brings four decades of clinical experience to his work with individuals and couples, drawing on training he began in the early 1980s. He was trained by a group of therapists who integrated multiple methods, and that eclectic background informs his practice today. Walter uses a range of modalities - from traditional talk therapy to creative and body-centered methods, as well as cognitive techniques and clinical hypnosis - to meet each person where they are.

He is also trained as a Career Counselor, which complements his therapeutic toolkit when life transitions or work concerns emerge. Over many years he has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, addictions, parenting and family issues, and concerns related to identity and LGBT matters. His approach emphasizes listening and helping clients shape the direction of therapy so it fits their needs and goals.

Walter holds LPC and LCMHC credentials, which are professional counselor licenses. He frames therapy as a collaborative process to manage, heal, and come to terms with personal suffering, and works to create a tailored experience that reflects each client’s history, strengths, and aspirations.

Walter "Baruch" Zeichner incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy depending on a client’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure connections and safer emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard - the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Walter works with clients to assess concerns, goals, and preferences, and together they choose or blend methods that fit the individual’s situation and pace of change.

Online therapy with Walter is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists as progress unfolds.
