About Cletus
Cletus Deller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. He draws on an action-oriented approach that focuses on concrete steps people can take to change daily habits and feel steadier. His style is direct and practical, aimed at making progress rather than just talking about problems.
He uses a mix of methods that include Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Background and approach
Those approaches are selected to fit the problem at hand, such as anxiety, addiction, trauma, or depression. Sessions often include clear strategies, skill practice, and short-term goals that carry into everyday life. Cletus has a background that began in teaching and expanded into counseling work over many years.
That experience shaped a practical focus on helping people manage stress, anger, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. He also works with concerns like ADHD, codependency, communication issues, and the effects of abandonment or adoption histories. He can integrate a person’s spiritual beliefs into treatment when requested, alongside evidence-informed methods.
He emphasizes collaboration, listening, and building plans that people can use between sessions. Cletus speaks English and accepts clients from outside the United States. To begin, he asks people to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Approach-driven care available online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand their patterns in close relationships and build healthier ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then taking action toward meaningful life goals. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods to try first. Over time techniques are adjusted to match progress and changing needs so clients help shape their own plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
