Cletus Deller, LMHC

Cletus Deller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 25 years of experience. He draws on practical, action-focused methods to help people make changes in daily life instead of only talking about problems. Cletus emphasizes clear steps and real-world tools when addressing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem.

He began his career as a teacher and later earned graduate degrees in psychology and counseling and a Master of Business Administration. That background shaped a direct, results-oriented style that aims for measurable improvement. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as core approaches to restructure thinking and build values-driven action.

Cletus also works with trauma-related concerns, relationship harm from narcissistic or borderline dynamics, anger, and substance issues. He describes a blend of clinical techniques and, when requested, an integration of spiritual perspectives alongside evidence-based methods. The focus stays on what the client wants to change and practical steps to get there.

His work includes helping people navigate caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, abandonment and attachment issues, aging and geriatric issues, and communication or commitment difficulties. Sessions aim to identify immediate habits to alter and build skills for longer-term resilience. He encourages a collaborative plan tailored to each person’s priorities.

People who prefer a clear, goal-directed approach and concrete homework may find his style helpful. To begin, prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How specific approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on moving forward even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit your situation. Expect a collaborative plan that may combine short-term skills practice with deeper trauma work when needed.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid camera use if that helps you engage. Licensed professionals often adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques effectively over remote sessions, and the therapist will help tailor practical exercises to your everyday routine.
