About Kidd

Dr. Kidd Colt is a Florida LMHC with 24 years of experience in counseling. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, addictions, and related issues including codependency and communication problems.

He trained in counseling psychology and has a long history of community work. Much of his earlier practice involved mood disorders, ADHD, substance use, stress management, and grief. That background shapes how he approaches current clients.

Sessions tend to be practical and focused. He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in small steps.

Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage anxiety, attention, and sleep problems by grounding attention in the present. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

People who often put others first or struggle to set boundaries may find the sessions useful for learning clearer communication and limits. He helps people name patterns, try new options, and track what changes work in daily life.

Dr. Colt aims for short-term, solution-oriented work when that fits, while also supporting longer exploration when needed. To start, clients complete an intake so goals and a session plan can be set together.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pacing. In practice that means the therapist listens for what matters most, reflects back concerns, and helps the client choose topics to work on. This approach is useful for people who feel lost in relationships or unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include identifying a specific pattern, testing a new behavior between meetings, and reviewing what changed. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, OCD patterns, and mood concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration. These short practices can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together to see what helps most.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically focus on goals and what practical steps to try first, with adjustments made over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that brief skill practice and structured CBT tasks transfer well to remote sessions, while mindfulness exercises are easy to assign and review between meetings.
