About Wayne
Wayne Castro uses practical, evidence-informed therapies to help people facing emotional strain. He is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in New Hampshire with 45 years of experience.

He also addresses attention and focus concerns related to ADHD and supports people dealing with grief, career shifts, and life transitions. Wayne creates a welcoming space where people can say what they really mean.
Background and approach
He encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. The pace and goals are set together so the work feels manageable.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful patterns. He also uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work when appropriate. These methods are applied in plain language, with concrete exercises and real-life examples.
Wayne has worked across a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, substance issues, family problems, and compassion fatigue. He brings decades of clinical experience and steady presence to each meeting. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who contact him complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their routine. Sessions may be held by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Wayne's practice is intended to help people move toward clearer thinking and more useful daily habits.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication and problem solving in relationships when that is the focus of work.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. Sessions begin with simple goals and adapt over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life changes. Many people find that remote formats support steady progress through regular, convenient contact with a licensed professional.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
Gottman Method
A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
