Cletus Deller, LMHC

Cletus Deller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. He emphasizes practical, action-focused work rather than open-ended talk. Cletus aims to help people make concrete changes that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses Attachment-Based approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in his practice. These methods are applied to concerns such as anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Cletus previously worked as a teacher and later completed graduate study, holding a Master of Science in Psychology and Counseling and an MBA. He also has a post-graduate certificate in forensic psychology and a certification as a sexual therapist. His license is FL LMHC, which is listed as his credential.

He often focuses on trauma from difficult relationships, addiction, and complex grief. Additional areas he addresses include ADHD, self-esteem, anger, chronic illness and caregiver stress, blended family and communication problems, and abandonment or adoption-related concerns. He says he can combine scientific approaches with spirituality when clients request that option.

People who choose to work with him can expect a direct, practical style that prioritizes immediate, usable change. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the provider’s matching process to begin.

How specific approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. It helps with anxiety, stress, and motivation by teaching practical steps to move forward despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms; it is commonly applied when past events continue to cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be revised as therapy progresses to ensure the approach matches what the person finds most helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and tracking tools to work well over remote sessions so therapy remains practical and goal oriented.
