About Marco
Marco Macaluso is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes. He focuses on practical work that helps people notice what is getting in the way and try different ways of coping. Marco uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and planning.
In sessions he aims for straightforward conversation and clear steps. He asks about what is happening day to day, what has helped before, and what the person wants to change. That leads to short-term goals and ways to practice new responses between meetings.
Marco pays attention to relationship and family concerns as they affect an individual. He also addresses caregiving strain, fatherhood issues, first responder stress, grief, addictions, mood concerns including bipolar, and problems with sleep and intimacy. He helps people talk through guilt, shame, anger, and questions about life purpose.
Practical skills and coping tools are part of the work. Marco uses tried approaches to help with obsessions, compulsions, and impulse-related problems as well as longer-standing patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions include reflection, skill-building, and planning for real-world practice.
People who prefer direct feedback and step-by-step planning often find this style useful. To start, a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session set the focus for initial meetings. Marco works in English and is not taking international clients.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Marco describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on giving people clear skills and steps. One common approach is behavioral work that looks at daily routines, sleep, and specific actions to reduce anxiety or compulsive behavior. That method helps with symptoms like trouble sleeping, intrusive thoughts, or repetitive rituals.A second approach emphasizes cognitive techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These techniques are useful for managing low mood, anger, guilt, and worry, and for planning small experiments to test new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Marco collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and what they prefer to try. He uses the first sessions to set goals and then adjusts methods based on how those strategies work in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises for people to practice between meetings, which helps carry progress into daily routines.
