About Wayne
Wayne Castro is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 45 years of professional experience. He focuses on common life stresses including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related concentration problems, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Wayne speaks English and brings long-term practice to everyday problems.
Wayne works in a direct, practical way. He helps people name what gets in the way, notice patterns, and try different strategies that actually fit their lives. Sessions are conversational and focused on actions people can use between meetings.
He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of his approach for handling painful feelings without getting stuck. The Gottman Method informs his work on communication and intimacy-related issues.
Over decades of practice he has helped people with career stress, life transitions, and relational conflicts. He also offers support around substance concerns, domestic violence effects, family of origin issues, and veteran-related matters when those topics are present.
Wayne asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted, and sessions are offered in English.
Background and approach note: Wayne emphasizes steady, concrete steps rather than abstract promises. He encourages clients to set small, testable goals, practice new behaviors, and track what changes. That makes progress easier to see and adjust over time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match a person’s values. It can help when anger, anxiety, or grief feel overwhelming but you want to keep moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce stress and improve mood. It is useful for anger that shows up as repeated reactions and for work-related frustration. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns and practical skills for improving connection and handling conflicts in relationships.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to use practical exercises and worksheets between meetings, so learning continues outside session time.
