About Wayne
Wayne Castro is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire. He brings 45 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. He makes the first steps toward change less daunting by listening and offering steady support.
Wayne focuses on everyday difficulties like trouble concentrating, low mood, and overwhelming stress. He also helps people facing grief, anger, relationship strain, and questions about identity or life purpose.
Background and approach
Phobias are among the specific concerns he is familiar with and can address in sessions. In sessions he creates an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about their thoughts and feelings. He uses clear methods that aim to change unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping skills.
Conversations are practical and centered on what the person needs right now. Wayne draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are present.
Together with each person he shapes a path that fits their life and goals. People often come for help with life transitions, addiction-related concerns, first responder stress, aging issues, or the lasting impact of past trauma. Wayne works at a steady pace and aims to help people build clearer thinking and steadier routines over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. The Gottman Method examines relationship patterns and communication to reduce conflict and build healthier interactions when relationship issues are present.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they’ll choose or combine approaches that feel like the best fit and adjust the plan over time as needs change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, on-the-go support between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit counseling into busy schedules and to keep continuity when in-person meetings aren’t practical.
