About Cletus
Cletus Deller brings a pragmatic, skill-focused approach grounded in cognitive behavioral methods to help clients make concrete changes in their everyday lives.
Background and approach
He emphasizes strategies that target immediate patterns of thinking and behavior, drawing on 25 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. His work concentrates on trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, attention difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem challenges.
With a background that began in education, he blends practical interventions with broader therapeutic models such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, dialectical behavioral techniques, and EMDR when appropriate. His practice also addresses a wide range of additional concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, blended family and communication problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and co-occurring conditions.
He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Cletus describes his style as action-oriented rather than purely conversational, partnering with clients to design individualized plans that fit their needs and values.
He holds the Florida LMHC license FL LMHC MH10772 and offers subscription-based sessions that vary with location and availability.
Online therapy with action-focused approaches
Many clients benefit from structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), both of which Cletus commonly uses in online work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so people can take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain present.Attachment-based approaches can also be integrated when relationship patterns and early life experiences are relevant; this work explores how past bonds influence current reactions and communication. Deciding which approach or combination will be most helpful is a collaborative process, and the therapist works with each person to align techniques with their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging creates flexibility for people with busy schedules or varied access needs. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into day-to-day life, and use tools and exercises between meetings to reinforce progress with practical, skills-based strategies.
