About Cletus
Cletus Deller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. He centers his work on brief, action-focused steps rather than long, abstract conversations. His approach aims to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and make concrete changes in daily life.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Attachment-Based work when relationship patterns or intense emotions are involved.
Background and approach
These methods are used to address anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem problems, and depression. Cletus has a background that began in education before moving into counseling. That long career has shaped a practical style - sessions tend to focus on skills, simple experiments, and short-term goals people can use between meetings.
He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic health concerns, and attachment or abandonment wounds. He practices in Florida and offers services in English. He also works with international clients.
Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Fees vary with location and the subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, someone completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a session through the Start Therapy button.
That process helps pair needs and preferences with how he structures work together.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past traumatic memories through structured procedures and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what the person has tried before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people practice skills face-to-face when convenient. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, follow-ups, or when someone needs to connect between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and give flexible ways to continue progress when life is busy.
