About Colette
Colette Lettieri is a licensed clinical social worker who brings ten years of therapy experience to her practice in New York. She focuses on helping people build confidence and motivation. She also supports those facing career questions and major life transitions.
Colette emphasizes empowerment in sessions. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns. Her approach is straightforward and warm, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She often helps people address relationship and family issues, communication problems, and the stress that comes with caregiving or separation. Colette also works with clients exploring life purpose, midlife challenges, and self-love. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps forward.
Her style combines listening with constructive direction. She uses narrative methods to help people reframe difficult stories. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify concrete next steps clients can try between sessions.
Clients can expect collaboration on goals and tools that fit daily life. Colette balances encouragement with realistic planning. The aim is to leave sessions with clearer choices and manageable actions.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the client leads the conversation and feels heard. This helps when someone needs to clarify values, regain confidence, or work through emotional blocks.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and reframe experiences so they have more options for moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Colette collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs change.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter option fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while still working toward clear goals with a licensed professional.
