Pietro (Pete) Martucci is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota who brings years of focused work with people facing trauma, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and addiction. He holds an LPCC, is a Certified Clinical Trauma Counselor with specialized training in trauma-focused care, is credentialed as a Disaster Mental Health Counselor to support responses to large-scale crises, and serves as an Approved Clinical Supervisor.

With seven years as a practicing counselor and more than a decade working in the mental health field, he has worked with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety and panic, personality and mood disorders, body image and self-esteem concerns, relationship and family challenges, and substance use. His work emphasizes how traumatic histories can influence current patterns and offers practical ways to move toward healthier functioning.

His therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-informed framework that helps clients notice and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and he integrates solution-focused methods to address immediate life challenges and stressors. He aims to create a respectful, kind, and nonjudgmental environment and encourages collaborative work that challenges comfort zones when needed. He invites prospective clients to take the step toward change and to begin a shared process of learning, growth, and renewed well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Pietro (Pete) Martucci combines several practical approaches to support clients through online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and then develop concrete strategies to change those patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals; it creates a supportive space where people can explore feelings and make choices that fit their values. Emotionally-Focused techniques focus on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and can be helpful for relationship and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can evolve as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Pietro is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continued momentum between sessions, and make it possible to receive consistent care even when in-person visits are not feasible.
