Wayne Castro

Wayne Castro is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with 45 years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, or life changes. He aims to make the first step toward support feel manageable and straightforward.

He focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize practical steps and understanding what gets in the way of daily functioning, like trouble concentrating or memory problems often linked to ADHD. Wayne encourages small, doable changes that add up over time.

His work draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. He uses tools to address relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and career or life purpose questions. He also supports those coping with trauma, substance challenges, and major life transitions.

Wayne brings many years of experience with first responder and veteran issues, family of origin concerns, and complex stress like compassion fatigue. He listens for the specific pain behind anger, shame, or grief and helps people name what they want to change. His approach is steady and practical, aimed at helping people regain control over daily life.

People who choose Wayne can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and steps to practice between meetings. He works in English and sees clients based in New Hampshire. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people with his practice.

How ACT, CBT, and Gottman Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives concrete skills for managing stress, depression, and concentration problems. The Gottman Method centers on communication and interaction patterns and can help with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick ideas and techniques that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day realities. That process may include trying different tools from ACT, CBT, or Gottman-style work and checking in about what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also permit brief check-ins when a shorter conversation fits a work break, or audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to keep regular progress on goals.
