About Pietro
Pietro (Pete) Martucci offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges and family stress. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can try between sessions. Pete is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Minnesota with seven years of counseling experience.
He uses clear explanations and real-world tools so parents can make small, steady changes at home. Pete draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and shift how they respond to conflict.
Background and approach
He also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in what matters most to each person. Sessions tend to include problem-focused work, skill practice, and space to talk about feelings without judgment. Pete has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family problems, and parenting challenges.
He also has experience with trauma, LGBT issues, and caregiver stress. That experience shapes how he notices trauma’s effects on day-to-day life and on family dynamics. In sessions he blends teaching with listening.
He might coach a parent through a communication strategy, guide someone through emotion-focused exercises, or use CBT tools to shift unhelpful thinking. The goal is practical change that fits each person’s life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and a subscription billing model is used that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist offers empathy and helps people identify their own goals and solutions, which can help with family tensions and parenting decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In practical terms this means learning small skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect parenting.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change patterns in how they respond to strong emotions. It can be especially helpful when family members get stuck in repeating cycles of conflict or withdrawal.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so it fits real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, practice skills between meetings, and check in when issues come up. Licensed professionals can use these options to offer consistent, ongoing support without the need to travel.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
