About Walter
Walter "Baruch" Zeichner offers steady, experienced help for people facing life’s difficult moments. He focuses on problems like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and stress. He also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and identity-related concerns.
Walter is an LPC and LCMHC and brings 40 years of practice to each meeting. He uses a mix of approaches to fit what each person needs. Hypnotherapy is one tool he uses alongside talk-based methods and body-centered work.
Background and approach
He also draws on cognitive behavior strategies, attachment ideas, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy to address emotional regulation and relationship patterns. Sessions begin with the client’s goals. Walter describes therapy as collaborative - clients help choose the pace and focus.
He emphasizes dealing with present problems while also addressing past hurts that keep causing trouble today. Over four decades Walter has worked with many kinds of struggles, including intimacy-related issues, eating problems, parenting stress, and trauma and abuse. He also addresses less commonly discussed concerns such as abandonment, forgiveness, and living with HIV/AIDS.
His experience includes career counseling as part of life-change work. People meet him online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He offers practical strategies, guided exercises, and space to talk through painful events.
The goal is clearer coping, better relationships, and a steadier sense of self.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. Online sessions can help identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating to partners or close others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes and adapts well to online homework and skill practice. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access inner resources and address issues like pain, habits, or deep-seated emotional blocks; it can be offered through careful verbal guidance in video or phone sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps, making the process collaborative and responsive.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for exercises and guided work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a straightforward option when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get brief support between sessions or to communicate in writing. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and continue care across distances.
