Marie Castellucci , LPC

Marie Castellucci is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, family problems, ADHD, and mood disorders.

Her sessions start by listening to each person's story and identifying what matters most to them. Marie focuses on practical steps that can be used between appointments. She uses straightforward talk, gentle challenge, and goal-setting to help people move forward.

Marie blends several approaches to match each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices teach simple awareness and stress-reduction skills. Solution-focused work centers on what’s already working and how to build on it.

Clients get a plan that fits their daily life. That might include short behavioral experiments, communication practice, or coping tools for intense emotions. Marie also brings motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change.

She aims to be direct but caring, offering honest feedback without judgment. People who want clear suggestions and a collaborative partner may find this style useful. Marie is available for sessions in English in Colorado and works with a wide range of life and mood challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify goals, and follows the person’s pace to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and mood issues by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has worked before, and personal preferences. Together they decide whether more skills practice, motivational work, or solution-focused planning fits best and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy can make regular work on goals easier. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, encouragement between sessions, and step-by-step exercises without needing a full appointment. These options help therapy fit into busy days while still using CBT tools, mindfulness practices, and client-directed planning.
