About Kidd

Dr. Kidd Colt is a licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of clinical experience. He practices in Florida and aims to create a calm, approachable space for people who are worried about sleep, mood, or everyday stress. He meets people where they are and helps them find clearer steps forward.

He trained in counseling psychology and holds an Ed.D and a master of arts in counseling psychology. His background includes long-term work in community settings where he saw many people with mood disorders, substance use challenges, ADHD, grief, and stress-related concerns. That history shapes how he plans treatment and sets expectations with clients.

In sessions he tends to be warm and practical. He listens first, then helps people choose small, doable strategies they can try between meetings. He offers short-term, solution-focused work when that fits, and longer approaches when deeper change is needed.

Dr. Colt uses several clinical approaches to guide his work, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused techniques. He draws on these to address sleep and rest problems alongside anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and food-related concerns, and other life stresses.

He conducts work in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire to set up a first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Colt uses cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical habits. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that make sleep, anxiety, or mood problems worse and testing small changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce rumination and help with rest.

He also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard while they work toward goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s needs and preferences over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so people can practice tools between meetings and track changes to sleep and daily routines.
