Cletus Deller, LMHC

Cletus Deller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. He brings a practical, results-focused style that emphasizes clear, concrete changes rather than long, open-ended talk. He blends evidence-informed methods with the option to include spiritual perspectives when a client requests that mix.

Clete began his career as a teacher and later completed graduate work in psychology and counseling. His background includes work addressing trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship harms such as narcissistic or borderline partner dynamics. He also notes direct lived experience with some of these struggles, which informs his practical approach.

In sessions he aims for short-term, doable steps clients can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment approaches, and EMDR when appropriate to the concern. He focuses on skills that reduce distress, improve coping, and help people regain control over daily life.

Clete lists a broad set of focus areas including stress, depression, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and caregiving strain, among others. He also works with issues like abandonment, blended family concerns, chronic illness and pain, and communication and control problems.

He offers services in English and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It focuses on small, meaningful actions to build a life that feels worth living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills clients can apply between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that targets distressing memories and their emotional impact; when a clinician recommends it, sessions work through those memories in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what works for the individual.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the equation. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill practice, trauma processing, and behavior changes in remote sessions, helping clients apply tools in their day-to-day routines.
