About Kidd
Dr. Kidd Colt is a licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of experience. He practices in Florida and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. He aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people who feel overwhelmed by daily pressures.

In sessions he offers a warm, empathic presence and focuses on clear, goal-oriented work when that fits the person.

He also addresses relationship strain, communication problems, codependency, and issues around eating and sleep. The work often involves identifying patterns, setting small goals, and trying new behaviors between visits.
People can expect a therapist who values steady support and real-world tools. He looks to collaborate on plans that fit everyday life and the specific challenges someone brings.
Client-centered and evidence-based approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's experience in every session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions to stress, relationship problems, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide together what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the source information. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone choose a session style that feels more manageable for them. Licensed professionals can adapt Client-Centered and CBT techniques to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical skills and steady progress.
