Pietro (Pete) Martucci

Pietro (Pete) Martucci welcomes people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and related struggles. He is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with seven years of counseling experience. Pete aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and start to find practical steps forward.

Pete centers his work on Trauma-Focused Therapy and approaches that help people notice how past events shape current reactions. He also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to immediate coping skills.

He has spent much of his career studying trauma and how it affects thinking and behavior. That background informs how he helps people affected by abuse, addiction, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship or parenting pressures. He also supports people working through adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.

Pete encourages collaboration in therapy. He asks questions, listens closely, and offers tools you can try between sessions. He will also challenge avoidance when it keeps someone stuck, while keeping the pace manageable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past traumatic events shape current feelings and responses. It often includes careful processing of memories and learning ways to manage strong reactions so daily life is less disrupted.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers and set the pace for progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioral experiments to change how situations play out.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pete will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and needs. That might mean focusing more on skills training one week and processing traumatic memories another week.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by cutting commute time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing sessions without being on camera. These practical benefits help many people maintain steady progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
