About Pietro
Pietro (Pete) Martucci helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. He works with worries like anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and relationship problems. Pete practices in Minnesota and brings seven years of counseling experience to his work.
He uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. Pete draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns of behavior. He also uses Client-Centered methods to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk things through at their own pace.
Background and approach
Pete has focused much of his work on trauma and its effects on behavior and relationships. He supports people dealing with abuse, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and the long-term impact of disaster or loss. He also helps with everyday struggles like body image, self-esteem, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and isolation.
Sessions often include problem-solving and goal-setting. Motivational Interviewing is part of his toolbox when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure where to start. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with grounding and stress management when needed.
Pete approaches therapy as a collaboration. He listens first, then helps create small, achievable steps that fit a person’s life. If someone prefers phone sessions, video calls, or text-based check-ins, he offers those formats to match different needs.
As an LPCC in Minnesota, Pete combines practical skills with a calm, direct style. He aims to help people develop steady coping skills and clearer next steps as they move through difficult moments.
Approaches that work well online
Pietro commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. Together they set small steps and check in regularly to adjust methods as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read visual cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be shorter or used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
