Background and approach

That background shaped a practical style that blends evidence-based techniques with attention to personal values and life goals. Cletus emphasizes skills that can be used right away to reduce symptoms and restore day-to-day functioning.

In sessions he draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). He describes therapy as collaborative and focuses on what will help the individual most, including work on addiction, trauma from difficult relationships, anger, and communication issues.

Cletus also supports people facing more specific concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and blended family dynamics. He works in English and accepts international clients by remote formats. His practice uses flexible session options so people can fit therapy into busy lives.

The initial step is a short matching questionnaire that leads to scheduling with the therapist.

Therapeutic approaches delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants more direction on living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-world evidence, then practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, addictions, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to traumatic memories through structured processing and bilateral stimulation when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Then he will recommend one or a blend of approaches and adjust the plan as progress is observed, keeping the process collaborative and outcome-focused.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat or text can fit brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable, and scheduling across time zones supports international clients. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
