Pietro (Pete) Martucci, LPCC

Pietro (Pete) Martucci is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday thoughts and habits. He focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel steadier and make clearer choices. Pete aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them and try new ways of coping.

Pete brings seven years of clinical practice to his counseling work and more than a decade in the mental health field overall. He has concentrated much of his career on how trauma shapes thinking and behavior. That background informs how he listens for patterns that keep people stuck and how he supports change.

His main approaches include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods that link thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also uses elements of emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, build new habits, and improve relationships. Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented while staying collaborative.

Pete often helps with issues such as relationship concerns, parenting stress, addiction, self-esteem, body image, and grief after loss or disaster. He also addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and challenges common to men exploring emotional health.

People who choose Pete usually want concrete tools for day-to-day life and a therapist who will challenge unhelpful thinking while offering steady support. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.

How these approaches translate to online work

Pete often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build everyday habits. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and values, helping them steer sessions and set priorities. Cognitive behavioral approaches break problems into thinking patterns and behaviors, then practice new responses to shift feelings and actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pete collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts as progress or challenges appear. That collaborative stance makes it easier to move from talk to practical steps.

Confirm session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports continued work after crisis or change, letting people practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can help tailor the pace and focus so therapy aligns with daily life and real-world goals.
