About Colette

Colette Lettieri is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She emphasizes empowerment and helps people take practical steps toward greater confidence and satisfaction. Colette frames therapy as a partnership and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone taking a first step.

She brings ten years of documented experience as a clinician to her practice. Colette focuses on concerns such as relationships, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues related to divorce and separation.

In sessions she favors a straightforward, supportive manner. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. That might mean identifying small goals, building motivation, or naming practical next steps for a difficult transition.

Colette also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe problems and find workable strategies. She helps clients tell their story in ways that reveal strengths and options. Work often centers on real-life tasks clients can try between meetings.

People meet her to work on clarity, confidence, and forward movement during stressful life shifts. She supports those who want to improve communication, reduce strain from caregiving, or navigate separation with less overwhelm. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and values. It gives space for the client to lead conversations and for the therapist to reflect back what matters most. This approach helps when people want support sorting feelings and making decisions.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. It helps people name limiting stories and find alternative ways to understand their choices. This approach can be useful for reframing experiences like career shifts or separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting methods, and setting practical steps to try between sessions.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and better fit with busy days. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins around work breaks or to meet without needing travel time. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
