More about Colette

Seeking assistance to manage life’s stressors, or cope with a major life event, can be difficult. Maybe you aren’t sure your situation could change. Perhaps you feel as though you “should” be able to go at it alone. Working together, you can feel more empowered and more in control of your life. You can get better. You can feel better. Your life can be more fulfilling.
My name is Colette McLeod and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the Central Florida area. I have experience working with a wide variety of people and issues including trauma, severe mental illness or addiction issues, work-life balance issues, and interpersonal/relationship problems.
I provide individualized care with a focus on your specific strengths and abilities. I utilize a range of treatment methodologies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (discussing Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors), Mindfulness (increasing non-judgmental awareness), Solution-Focused methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (developing Wise Mind), and Motivational Interviewing approaches in my work with adult clients. My techniques are based on a variety of modalities to best support you living a full, balanced, and meaningful life.
Together, we will discuss your goals, your challenges, and your plans. I am looking forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
