More about Cletus

  • 25 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMHC

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. As far as approach, I use both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Action and Commitment Therapy, (ACT), along with a focus on Christian Deliverance Ministry.

I have two Graduate Degrees (an MS in Psychology and Counseling, and an MBA), Post Graduate Certification in Forensic Psychology, certification as a Sexual Therapist, and in addition, I have ISE and NCAA certification in Deliverance Ministry.

I am strongly focused on offering both science-based treatment along with a Christian Deliverance Ministry focus to successfully treat trauma, addiction, and Narcissistic and Borderline personalities. From the science side, I am trained and certified in the only evidenced-based scientific treatments, strongly recommended by the American Psychology Association and I have additional certifications in Anger Management, Anxiety, Complex Trauma, Grief, Narcissistic Abuse, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (the only science-based treatment for Borderline personalities)

From the Deliverance Ministry side, as mentioned above, I have both ISE and NCAA certification. Deliverance Ministry is currently the only complete treatment available for both Narcissism and Borderline conditions.

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 to solving mental health issues, and Christian counseling techniques, if requested. The goal is always to craft the right plan, for the person that is seeking help.

What sets me apart from all other therapists, is a unique approach based on Christian Deliverance Ministry, that I use to help people who suffer from Narcissistic and Borderline lives. Currently there is only one approved treatment for Borderline (DBT which I am also certified in), that takes over a year to be effective, and there is no approved treatment for Narcissism. The treatment I offer for both Borderline and Narcissism, usually takes less than 8 sessions. For my treatment to work however, the individual MUST WANT TO GET BETTER.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Words can describe how helpful these sessions have been and how much growth I’ve seen not just from listening but from actively doing what there suggesting . I would highly recommend everyone to do these session even if it once in life because you will not regret it .

Cletus listens carefully to what I am saying and provides well thought out responses. I feel safe confiding in him, not because of the separation and virtual anonymity that electronic therapy provides. Rather, I get a sense that he gets pleasure from knowing that he is providing the best support that he can for my achieving the best results possible. Through his patient guidance, I have learned not only what my major issues are, but how deeply seated those issues reside. Change for the better is inevitable. I have much gratitude for that.

Cletus helped me make a huge transformation. He is very results oriented and really does deliver. He is a great listener, has a wealth of knowledge about the psychology of awareness and change. Very quickly adapts methods to the individual, and gives valuable observations and suggestions, to enable progress. Doesn't believe in non-sense and wasting time, but at the same time has great empathy and ability to motivate. Can't say enough good things about Cletus. At least for me, it was a great fit, and made a huge difference for me to get to where I wanted to be.
