About Wayne
Wayne Castro is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 45 years of professional experience. He helps people deal with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and attention and concentration concerns often described as ADHD. He also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and other life changes.
In sessions he uses clear, practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Those approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different responses. He also draws on the Gottman Method for work related to intimacy and relationship patterns.
Wayne asks straightforward questions and works with people to set concrete goals. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying thinking and behavior patterns that get in the way, and practicing alternative ways of responding. He opts for direct, structured interventions a person can try between appointments.
He has long experience across a wide range of concerns including substance issues, domestic violence, first responder and veteran-related stress, and midlife or career transitions. He helps people sort practical steps for coping and for rebuilding routines that support daily functioning.
Sessions are conducted in English and he practices in New Hampshire. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
Wayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and then practices small changes people can test between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and help people take workable steps toward those values despite uncomfortable feelings. The Gottman Method informs practical work on communication and interaction patterns in intimate relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision comes from an initial conversation about what is most pressing and what kinds of strategies feel doable for the client.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into session for direct feedback.
