About Wayne
Wayne Castro is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 45 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and attention concerns such as ADHD. He also lists work with relationship and family issues, grief, and coping with life changes.
Wayne works in a direct, conversational way that aims to make sessions feel practical and understandable. He encourages people to talk through current struggles, identify patterns that come from earlier family life, and try small, testable changes. Sessions typically include clear strategies and time to reflect on how those strategies fit into daily routines.
His background spans many clinical settings over several decades, giving him a wide view of common life challenges. He combines behavior-focused methods with acceptance-oriented ideas to address both symptoms and underlying patterns. He also uses techniques drawn from relationship-focused work when relevant to a person's concerns.
Clients who want to address patterns from their family of origin will find work here that looks at roles, expectations, and how childhood rules still influence decisions. Wayne brings steady, practical guidance rather than jargon, and he helps people break down larger problems into manageable steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New Hampshire. The therapist notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and that session details and formats should be confirmed before booking.
How Wayne uses ACT, CBT and relationship work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and on choosing actions that matter. It can help when worry, avoidance, or family-based rules keep someone from moving forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention or concentration struggles.
The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for communication and conflict management and is used when relationship patterns or interaction habits are a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wayne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. He treats approach selection as collaborative, with ongoing adjustments based on what helps most.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow focused, regular check-ins. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and the ability to choose audio-only if that fits better with bandwidth or background noise.
