More about Pietro

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPCC

Hello, my name is Pete Martucci and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, currently working in the state of Minnesota. I have been a practicing counselor for 6 years and I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. I am currently completing my PhD in Counselor Education with a specialization in crisis and trauma. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Counselor as well as a Disaster Mental Health Counselor and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I have spent the bulk of my career studying the impact of trauma and how it can direct our thoughts and behaviors. I have worked with individuals across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, panic disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, body image, self-esteem concerns, addiction and other life challenges.

My therapeutic/counseling style is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I believe it is an empowering framework that assists clients in recognizing and treating their mental health concerns, by challenging the way we think and how we act on those thoughts. I also will challenge you to move outside of your comfort areas and address those discomforts. In addition to CBT, I practice through a Solution-Focused approach that is helpful in addressing life challenges and stressors. I want you to feel comfortable in our work together and because of that I treat all individuals with respect, kindness and removed of any judgment.

It takes great courage to ask for help and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you as you move forward on this journey to a healthier life and mind. I believe the work we do together, is a collaborative process and I will assist you to learn, grow, and make positive changes that can result in a more fulfilling life.

I look forward to hearing from you and beginning our work together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Never been to therapy before and Pete has made me feel comfortable in engaging about my needs. Couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to start this healing journey. He’s professional and respectful and puts things into a way that helps me understand things in a much different way. It’s refreshing.

Pete has been fantastic at understanding my day to day, being courteous to my brain, and making sure I’m heard. He also pushes back and challenges me to think.

Reviewed September 2023

I hate to make this short and sweet, because it would undersell Peter's abilities. To summarize it up, he is amazing at really providing a different perspective, where in the past therapists have really not provided that service. He is right in there to offer a different way of looking at the issue, while knowing the underlying issues, he utilizes that information, when asking for feedback or guiding me to a different way of thinking. Highly recommend Peter.

Pete has been a very welcomed bright spot in my life. He is a great listener but knows how to pick his places to push back or offer his alternate point of view.

Pete is excellent! He really listens and pulls from a plethora of knowledge and experience on his end. We've had many great conversations and some challenging ones. The challenging ones are often because Pete knows the right questions or asks or issues to uncover, even if my subconscious doesn't want to. Truly made a difference in my life and my relationship with anxiety.

I started therapy with Pete at a very low point in my life and one filled with so many transitions. I enjoyed working with Pete because he allowed me to express myself without judgment. Pete also helped me understand the impact that my previous trauma was having on my current relationships, thinking, and how I was showing up. He also gave me tips and tools for addressing my challenges more effectively. While working with Pete, I was better able to set boundaries and improve my relationships with others. Pete is a very understanding, caring, and effective therapist! I couldn't recommend Pete enough!

In other words, he helps me figure it out, unlike other styles of therapy that may only listen and expect the client to figure it out for themselves. Thanks Pete!
