My name is Cletus (Clete) Deller and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (20 + years experience) who started out my professional career as a teacher. I use both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Action and Commitment Therapy, (ACT). I am NOT a Talk Therapist. I like to focus on immediate concrete changes in your life. I have two Graduate Degrees (an MS in Psychology and Counseling, and an MBA), Post Graduate Certification in Forensic Psychology, and certification as a Sexual Therapist. I am strongly focused on treating trauma, anxiety, addiction, and the trauma from Narcissistic and Borderline relationships. I am trained and certified in the evidenced-based scientific treatments for both PTSD and CPTSD. I have additional certifications in Addiction, Anger Management, Anxiety, Complex Trauma, Grief, Narcissistic Abuse, and Borderline Treatment (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). I am a not a Christian counselor, but I am a Counselor who is a Christian. What that means is that I can use both scientifically validated approaches and combine science and spirituality, if requested. The goal is always to craft the right plan, for the person that is seeking help. I believe you will find me nonjudgemental, empathetic, patient, and understanding. Unlike most other therapists, I have personal experience in my areas of expertise.

My purpose is to support you to live life at your greatest potential. I strive to guide you to be your best self no matter the external circumstances. We all struggle at different phases in our life, and I have found that it is best to have support and connection to navigate these difficult times. I have significant experience with treating depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, perinatal/postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, grief/loss, addiction, relationship conflict, and family issues. My style is warm, friendly, and real. I am honest and direct with a sense of humor. I draw from many modalities, but my favorites are solution-focused, mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral, and experiential. I want to give you practical tools to help you feel better as soon as possible. I also draw on non-traditional approaches including expressive therapies such as art, music, movement, and storytelling. If you would like to deepen your spiritual connection, I can assist you with that as well. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from University of Central Florida in 2007. Aside from being a therapist, I’m also a Certified Hypnobirthing Instructor, Registered Yoga Teacher, and trained labor doula. I love yoga, art, nature, spiritual connection, and living life!

Hello, in an effort to introduce myself, I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I became involved in counseling because my husband was a Vietnam veteran that suffered from chronic PTSD and unfortunately Agent Orange. Initially, I wanted to only work with veterans' administration but there were other opportunities in life for me. I have worked in the prison system here in Florida, I have also worked at a community counseling centers and I have also had the pleasure to work with children, most of which were in the DCF program. Children are incredibly resilient. I have worked with clients that have suffered from depression, anxiety, anger management, abandonment issues, ADHD, and trauma. Counselling for me is a way to help people reconnect to who they are, encourage faith, compassion and sensitivity and respect for who they are. I work to develop an empathetic working relationship based on trust. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help and change is hard, but incredible rewarding. Reach out and take the first step. I look forward to hearing from you!

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
