Cletus Deller , LMHC

Cletus (Clete) Deller, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), brings more than 20 years of professional experience and began his career as a classroom teacher. He prefers practical, action-oriented work rather than a purely talk-based approach, emphasizing concrete changes that clients can apply in daily life.

He holds two graduate degrees - an MS in Psychology and Counseling and an MBA - along with a Post Graduate Certification in Forensic Psychology and certification as a Sexual Therapist. He is trained and certified in evidence-based treatments for both PTSD and complex PTSD. Additional certifications include Addiction, Anger Management, Anxiety, Complex Trauma, Grief, Narcissistic Abuse, and Borderline Treatment using Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Deller specializes in helping people manage trauma, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, and ADHD. He also focuses on areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication and control problems. He works with the effects of narcissistic and borderline relationships and uses targeted, scientific therapies to address those patterns.

As a counselor who is a Christian rather than a specifically Christian counselor, he can integrate scientifically validated methods with spiritual perspectives when requested, tailoring treatment to the individual. He approaches his work in a nonjudgmental, empathetic, patient, and understanding manner and notes that he has personal experience related to some of his specialty areas.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cletus Deller draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to address a range of emotional and relational challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is often helpful for anxiety, chronic stress, and avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating, which can be especially useful for intimacy, relationship, and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Deller works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines practical techniques with attention to personal history to craft a targeted plan.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate, and make evidence-based therapies more accessible to people who cannot attend in-person appointments.
