Licensed Professional Counselor | Founder of CucTalk Counseling
About Chris Cuccolo, LPC
Chris Cuccolo is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey with over ten years of professional experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.
Before founding CucTalk Counseling, Chris held leadership positions in behavioral health and healthcare organizations, where he supported clinical teams and developed strategies to improve patient and family outcomes. These experiences shaped his understanding of how stress, communication, and systemic pressures affect emotional well-being — insight that now informs his client-centered counseling approach.
Chris has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families, including prior work in Functional Family Therapy (FFT). This experience deepened his understanding of family dynamics, parent-child communication, and the complex emotional
patterns that influence behavior within households. His work continues to reflect a systems-based view that helps clients strengthen relationships and create sustainable change at home and beyond.
Warm Emotional Healing
His work focuses on creating a warm, judgment-free environment where clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that shape their lives. Whether working through anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, Chris helps clients find clarity, emotional balance,
and self-acceptance.
Conversations That Foster Connection

Ethical and Compassionate Practice
Chris is licensed in the State of New Jersey and is a proud member of the American
Counseling Association (ACA). He remains active in continuing education and professional development to ensure each client receives compassionate, informed, and ethical care.
