About Kidd
Dr. Kidd Colt is a Florida LMHC with 24 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and other struggles listed in his practice areas.
He trained in counseling psychology and has long experience in community mental health settings. Over many years he treated mood disorders, attention difficulties, substance issues, stress management, life changes, relationship problems, and grief in Sarasota and surrounding areas.
In sessions he uses a mix of practical approaches. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage hard feelings and reduce reactivity.
He also brings psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas when it helps to look at past patterns or safety after upsetting events. The aim is to identify what is getting in the way now and try concrete steps that fit daily life.
People who reach out are often dealing with parenting strain, family conflict, or the practical frustration of balancing responsibilities. Sessions tend to be straightforward and problem-focused when that is the client's preference. New clients are invited to complete an intake and schedule an initial meeting to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Dr. Colt commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without reacting immediately, which can ease stress and improve sleep.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together as they learn what works in everyday life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, child care, or other obligations. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or reduce travel time so therapy is easier to maintain alongside family responsibilities.
