About Wayne
Wayne Castro is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in New Hampshire. He has 45 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression.
Background and approach
He meets individuals where they are and focuses on practical steps for change. Wayne uses straightforward conversation to make room for what matters to each person.
He encourages clients to name feelings, notice patterns, and try small changes between sessions. The aim is to build tools that work in everyday life, not just in the therapy room.
Over decades of practice he has worked with attention and concentration concerns such as ADHD, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or life transitions. He also supports people facing compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, substance concerns, and the fallout of family conflict or separation.
His background includes helping those affected by trauma, domestic violence, and issues tied to military or first responder roles. Wayne blends methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Gottman Method into his work.
He explains approaches simply and helps clients try techniques that fit their daily routines. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase useful choices.
People who come to Wayne can expect steady, experienced guidance and a focus on real-world solutions. He helps clients set clear goals and take manageable steps toward a life that feels more balanced and meaningful.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Wayne integrates the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online sessions in ways that fit each person's situation. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical exercises to improve interactions and manage conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to change them.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wayne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to emphasize. That lets sessions stay focused and relevant rather than following a rigid plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for longer sessions and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth or no camera is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain therapy over time.
