About Pietro
Pietro (Pete) Martucci provides straightforward, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or addiction concerns. He speaks directly and calmly, helping people untangle thoughts and behaviors that feel stuck. Pete is based in Minnesota and brings seven years of counseling experience to his work as an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.
He focuses on understanding how life events shape the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
Pete uses Narrative Therapy to help clients put painful experiences in context and rewrite limiting narratives. He also draws on Client-Centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to build clear, step-by-step changes in thinking and behavior. Pete aims for sessions that feel collaborative and practical.
He listens closely, reflects what he hears, and offers tools people can try between sessions. His approach often includes mindfulness techniques to help manage intense emotion and grounding exercises after upsetting memories. He has particular interest in trauma and crisis-related issues and in supporting people facing caregiving stress, adoption or attachment concerns, body image, and identity questions including LGBT topics.
Pete also addresses common life strains such as isolation, communication problems, and work-related compassion fatigue. Sessions can include short-term coaching goals or longer work on deeper patterns, depending on what a person needs. The emphasis is on realistic steps, clearer choices, and helping people regain a sense of control over day-to-day life.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Many of Pietro's sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people tell the story of their life in new ways so troubling events feel less defining. Narrative work is useful for trauma, identity questions, and shifts in how someone sees themselves. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and helps build a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk. That approach is helpful when someone needs steady emotional support and understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common part of his online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing specific changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety or low mood. Together these approaches allow for both meaning-focused conversations and clear, action-oriented steps.
Pietro views choosing an approach as collaborative. He will talk with clients about their priorities and try methods that match their goals. If a strategy doesn’t fit, he adjusts the plan so work feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing contact and shorter updates between sessions. These options help people fit counseling into busy days and varied routines.
