About Kidd
Dr. Kidd Colt is an LMHC with 24 years of clinical experience based in Florida. He works with people who face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. He also addresses sleep and eating problems, anger, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
He trained in counseling psychology, holding an Ed.D and an MA in counseling psychology, and a BA in communication studies. He spent many years working in community settings in Sarasota, Florida, including an emergency treatment center, before moving into private practice.
His sessions focus on practical steps. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits. He also draws on client-centered methods, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused approaches when those fit the concern.
Typical work includes setting clear goals, practicing new reactions between sessions, and checking what helps most. He often provides brief, solution-oriented treatment when that matches a person's needs, and also works with longer-term concerns.
People who contact him can expect straightforward conversations about problems and options. He has experience supporting issues such as panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, phobias, codependency, communication problems, life-purpose questions, and seasonal mood changes. For parents or caregivers wondering about fit, he helps individuals with family-related stresses rather than running family therapy sessions.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Online sessions can use the same step-by-step exercises, homework, and behavior experiments as in-person work to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or change unhelpful routines. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a steady working relationship. In virtual meetings this shows up as straightforward conversation, reflective listening, and checking goals together each week. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to interrupt automatic reactions. These practices can be guided in sessions and then practiced between meetings to help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide whether CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness, or trauma-focused work is the best fit based on goals and how someone prefers to work. Practical benefits of online therapy should be confirmed for this clinician before booking, since session formats were not listed in the original profile. Many people find virtual sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. Confirm the specific session options available and choose the rhythm and length that suit daily life.Areas of expertise
