About Wayne
Wayne Castro is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 45 years of professional experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He focuses on practical conversations that help people notice how they respond under pressure. Sessions are straightforward and aim to identify triggers, unhelpful patterns, and small changes that reduce outbursts or simmering resentment. He also helps people struggling with grief, career strain, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Wayne uses evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship skills are part of the work. These approaches are used to practice new ways of thinking, responding, and communicating rather than promising a quick fix.
He has long experience helping people with concentration and focus issues linked to ADHD, as well as with issues that touch family origins, divorce, substance problems, domestic violence, and first responder or veteran-related concerns. Conversations can include how family history or work stress maintain anger and anxiety.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New Hampshire. For people wanting to begin, Wayne asks that they use the site matching steps to schedule a first meeting and clarify session options before booking.
How ACT, CBT and Gottman work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters. It is useful for anger tied to avoidance or rumination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to change reactions and mood. The Gottman Method centers on concrete communication and conflict skills that reduce escalation in close relationships.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which method or combination to try and adjust it over time based on how the work progresses.
Confirm the therapist's specific session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and let someone attend from quieter surroundings. These practical benefits help people keep regular appointments and apply new skills between meetings.
