Navigating through life can be difficult. Hi! My name is Colette Biondi. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) located in Ocala, Florida. I received my Master's degree from the University at Buffalo in the State of New York. I've been practicing for 40 years and work with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety and depression. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy, active listening and support to help clients gain coping skills and independence. Everyone deserves to become the best version of themselves, feel good and make healthy decisions. As we get to know each other and figure life out together, we will laugh, talk and even have some fun along the way. Life is too short to take everything so seriously.

I've been practcing for 40 years and work with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety and depression.

First session

In the first session, we will get to know each other. We'll start with a brief introduction, dive into the specific challenges and develop a plan for us to work through during the follow up sessions.

Strengths

Having worked with many clients over the past 40 years, i feel as though my strengths are my compassion, empathy, ability to listen and to help my clients identify their challenges and create a plan to help them live the life that they want to live.

Ideal clients

I love working with people who are ready to make changes in their lives. My clients are motivated to improve themselves, but lack the tools to do so. They oftn feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their lives. I am here to help them.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used CBT over the past 40 years when working with individual and groups for depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideation, social anxiety and most everything else.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT is very good with clients who have personality disorders. It can be used in group and iondividual sessions. I have used this treatment method over the past 10 years.

Family Therapy

I have enjoyed helping families learn how to to communicate with each other for the past 40 years. Families often need help figuring out what their priorities are. I see myself as a mediator as I am a good listener and a good and caring therapist.

I specifically chose Bonnie for her age and years of experience. She is a good listener with a creative approach to problem solving.

I chose Colette due to proximity and the amount of time she had under her belt. I needed someone with experience who had seen the gamut of life, as I'm the caregiver of my parents. Colette adds humor into my situation, but, also, brings everything back down to earth. She's able to help me figure out where my emotions are coming from and stop me from circling them on a loop. Colette has been extremely helpful.

I appreciate Colette's years of experience. She's well versed in many areas of life to assist in my particular caregiver phase and whatever else pops up. She listens, guides, and advises with thoughtful insights and understanding.
