About Kidd
Dr. Kidd Colt brings 24 years of clinical experience to his practice in Florida. He is an LMHC and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes.
He also addresses concerns such as ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and problems with sleep or eating. He trained at the graduate level in counseling and built a long career serving community mental health settings before moving into independent practice.
How Kidd works
That background shaped his practical, problem-solving orientation and his comfort working with long-term mood conditions and substance concerns. He spent many years providing direct care in Sarasota and has long experience with clients managing grief and chronic mental health issues. In sessions he keeps things straightforward and collaborative.
He draws on client-centered methods to listen deeply and help people set goals that fit their lives. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness strategies to reduce distress and improve daily coping. People who prefer brief, solution-focused work will find a clear, task-oriented style in sessions.
At the same time he can support longer-term therapeutic work when themes from a person's past or deeper emotional patterns emerge. He aims to make each meeting useful and practical. Appointments are offered through multiple online formats and phone options.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site's Start Therapy process.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people decide their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and build self-awareness.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for stress, panic, mood problems, and many everyday struggles.
Trauma-focused therapy helps people process and reduce the impact of past upsetting events. It uses targeted techniques to address symptoms of post-traumatic stress and to improve daily functioning after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether short-term strategies or a longer course of work is best.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls provide a full face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady amid a busy life.
