About Marco
Marco Macaluso is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. He aims to make the first step toward help feel less overwhelming and more doable. Marco focuses on building a straightforward, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what they are facing.
Marco helps people managing stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions. He also supports those dealing with grief, addiction concerns, sleep struggles, anger, and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem.
How Marco works
His practice includes work around caregiver strain, first responder issues, fatherhood concerns, and mood-related conditions like bipolar disorder. Sessions are practical and direct. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals.
Conversations may include strategies for coping, improving sleep, reducing overwhelm, and addressing patterns that keep problems going. Marco aims to reduce shame and increase self-understanding over time. He pays attention to how stress and past hurts affect day-to-day life.
People can expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence focused on improving daily functioning and relationships. His approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. Progress often comes from small, consistent changes and repeated practice of new ways to respond to stress.
Marco supports steps toward clearer purpose, healthier routines, and better emotional regulation.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Marco uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a practical way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new perspectives to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people manage stress and shift stuck patterns. Another approach emphasizes processing and making sense of past hurts so they have less hold on present life, which can be useful for trauma, grief, and forgiveness work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss goals, and together decide which strategies to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful and what fits your day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well when face-to-face conversation is useful. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter check-ins, writing out thoughts, or when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to receive care without long commutes and help therapy fit into a busy routine.
