Walter (Walt) Fritz
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
I welcome and affirm clients of all identities and backgrounds in my practice. Counseling services can be provided in both English and Spanish.
Born in Hollywood, Florida. I was raised in Santa Cruz, Bolivia from age 10 - 17. I completed my undergraduate degree in Communication with a minor in Psychology at Florida Atlantic University. In 2010, I graduated from the University of Kentucky with Master's degree in Rehabilitation. I am currently one of the few Bilingual Mental Health professionals in the Wake County area. I am currently licensed in North Carolina and Virginia. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, typically using “Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy,” using interventions from “Adlerian Therapy,” “Cognitive Therapy,” “Reality Therapy,” “Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy,” “Gestalt Therapy,” and “Strategic Family Therapy” when deemed appropriate. I have had specialized training in a variety of areas including, but not limited to, Mood Disorders - including Depression and Anxiety, Anger Related Issues/Disturbances, Behavior Problems, Familial Relations, Substance Abuse, and Crisis Intervention. Overall my approach to therapy is simple: you describe how you want your life to be, and together - through counseling and therapeutic intervention - we make it your reality. We work together to help you have the life you want.
