Colette Biondi
(she/her)
Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) located in Ocala, Florida. I recieved my Masters degree from the University at Bufallo in the Sate of New York. I've been practcing 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.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
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.

My 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 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.

Colette helped me to feel comfortable going to therapy again after an uncomfortable experience with another provider. She is warm, compassionate, and always made me feel like I had someone on my side. I've started working with another therapist who can help me with specific goals, but I wouldn't have felt brave enough to do so without Colette!

First session I felt a nice connection that I actually felt comfortable opening up about my issues on the first session. Colette really made me feel that she cares and wants to help me work through my struggles! Thank you for that
