About Wayne
Wayne Castro brings a cognitive behavioral orientation to his long career in mental health, using practical strategies to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress.
Background and approach
He combines this skills-based focus with acceptance and values-based work to support people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, attention and focus concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. Throughout a 45-year career as an LCMHC in New Hampshire, he has also addressed issues such as grief, anger, self-esteem, career strain, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
His approach emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and begin making concrete changes. He draws on methods like ACT and the Gottman method alongside CBT techniques to tailor interventions to an individual’s goals and day-to-day challenges.
Wayne encourages small, achievable steps toward a more satisfying life and offers steady support while clients build new skills and perspectives.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Wayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of his practice and focuses on helping people accept difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and building committed action toward a meaningful life.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they're facing, adapting techniques as progress is made and needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work on skills, coping strategies, and relationship concerns from different locations while maintaining regular appointment rhythms that fit daily life.
