About Pietro
Pietro (Pete) Martucci is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with seven years of counseling experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family strain, addiction, LGBT concerns, trauma and self-esteem issues. Pete focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming or unsteady.
Pete uses a clear, action-oriented style rooted in cognitive-behavioral approaches. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors that can change how they feel day to day. He also draws on emotionally-focused and mindfulness ideas to help people better understand emotions and build calmer responses.
His background includes working in multiple mental health settings where he studied how trauma shapes thinking and behavior. That experience informs his work with people who have experienced abuse, disaster, adoption or attachment challenges. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, and the overlap of mental health and substance issues.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Pete will often set small, achievable goals and use techniques like thought records, behavioral experiments, or brief coaching steps. He asks direct questions and offers straightforward feedback rather than lengthy lectures.
People in their late teens and twenties often consult him about leaving home, first jobs, relationship starts and ends, identity questions, and feeling behind peers. He works in English and practices in Minnesota. To begin, users follow the platform steps to match and schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
This therapist commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods and emotionally-focused work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into concrete steps. Emotionally-focused ideas focus on naming and responding to feelings so relationships and self-understanding can change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. That discussion helps decide whether to focus more on CBT techniques, emotional processing, mindfulness skills, or a mix. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into school, work, or busy days, and they allow brief check-ins when a full appointment would be hard to schedule. Some people find phone check-ins useful when video would be difficult, while others prefer a longer video session to go deeper. The therapist will work with the client to choose what fits their life and goals.
