Pietro (Pete) Martucci, LPCC

Pietro (Pete) Martucci helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. He is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, based in Minnesota. Pete aims for clear, practical sessions that focus on small steps and real-life changes.

Pete draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also uses client-centered ideas to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and conversations about what’s getting in the way day to day.

He has seven years of counseling experience and has spent much of his career studying how trauma affects thinking and behavior. That background informs how he listens for patterns linked to past events and current symptoms. He applies straightforward strategies rather than long lectures.

Pete works with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, self-esteem and body image, addictions, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. He also addresses communication problems, codependency, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. His approach balances practical tools with emotional understanding.

In sessions clients can expect collaborative planning and an emphasis on skills they can use between meetings. Pete encourages people to try small experiments outside of sessions and review what helped. He aims to make therapy a workable part of everyday life rather than an abstract process.

How Pete Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Pete commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought that contribute to anxiety or depression and then practice new behaviors to test different outcomes. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions respectful and focused on each person’s priorities, offering empathy and listening without judgment.

Pete treats the choice of approach as a team decision. He will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. That collaborative process helps match tools like CBT exercises or client-centered reflection to a person’s specific challenges and preferences.

Online therapy with Pete is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style notes, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
