About Pietro
Pietro (Pete) Martucci offers straightforward, practical support for parents feeling overwhelmed or unsure. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Pete writes and talks plainly so parents can use strategies quickly.
He works from Minnesota and brings seven years of counseling experience to sessions. Pete favors clear, goal-focused work that helps people change unhelpful habits and thoughts. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going and to practice different responses.
Background and approach
He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and match the pace to each person. Many clients come with trauma, relationship strain, or struggles with addiction and self-esteem. Pete has spent much of his career studying how trauma shapes thinking and behavior, and he helps people untangle those patterns.
He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and body image worries. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Pete may introduce mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing questions, or emotionally-focused techniques when they fit the person’s goals.
He encourages small experiments between sessions so new skills can be tested in daily life. People who prefer direct, respectful conversation often find his style useful. He frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work.
Pete communicates in clear terms and keeps recommendations focused on what will help most right now.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Pete commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. CBT helps people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that increase stress or anxiety, and it often includes small experiments to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace, creating room to talk through parenting worries or relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods over time. That means trying a CBT exercise one week, then shifting toward emotionally-focused or motivational interviewing techniques if they better match what the client needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls are useful for longer conversations and practicing skills in real time, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging allow quick check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options provide flexibility for parents balancing appointments, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
