Cletus Deller, LMHC

Cletus Deller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. He emphasizes concrete, practical change rather than lengthy, abstract talking. He combines evidence-based methods with an openness to include a client’s spiritual beliefs when requested. His work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD.

He began his career as a teacher and later earned graduate degrees in psychology and counseling and a business degree. That background shapes his straightforward style and focus on real-world results. He brings long experience helping people who have faced narcissistic and borderline relationship dynamics and the fallout of addiction and trauma.

Cletus uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In sessions he aims for techniques that lead to immediate, practical changes in daily life, like coping skills, behavior changes, and clearer boundaries.

He works from Florida and conducts therapy in English. International clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

People who want a direct, experienced counselor who blends clinical methods with optional spiritual perspectives may find his approach fits their needs.

Using evidence-based approaches in online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills that people can use between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, addiction, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the impact of traumatic memories by guiding the brain to process distressing events differently; it is often used for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend or combine methods accordingly. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to what the person wants to achieve, not to fit the person to a single model.

The original biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make regular contact easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use skill-building tools and homework between sessions so progress continues outside scheduled meetings.
