About Marie
Marie Castellucci is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people feeling stuck by listening closely and working with them to set clear, manageable goals. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, and she aims to create a space where people can speak honestly without judgment.
Marie draws on practical methods to address common concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and codependency. She often helps clients break big problems into small, doable steps. Sessions typically include talking through current struggles, trying concrete strategies, and tracking what works between meetings.
Her approach centers on each person’s story and strengths. She uses Client-Centered techniques to make sure the person’s values guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift day-to-day behaviors.
Mindfulness methods are used to bring attention back to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing can help people who feel unsure about change find their own reasons to move forward. Solution-Focused techniques keep the work goal-oriented and practical.
Marie aims to walk alongside clients through life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and workplace strain. She also supports people managing mood disorders, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person and following their lead; online sessions use that same attentive listening to shape goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; in remote sessions this often looks like reviewing situations, practicing small behavioral experiments, and assigning brief exercises between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and stress, which can be practiced during and between online sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision happens together and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing quicker check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone use a lower-bandwidth option when needed. These practical benefits can help people stay consistent with sessions while working on stress, codependency, anxiety, and other concerns.
