About Colette

Colette Lettieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people build confidence, find motivation, and navigate big life changes. Colette emphasizes empowerment and practical steps people can take to feel more capable in day-to-day life.

She uses a narrative approach to help clients make sense of their stories and spot patterns that limit them. Colette also practices client-centered methods, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where people guide the pace and focus of sessions.

Background and approach

Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals and identify concrete next steps. Colette often supports people who are dealing with relationship strain, family problems, divorce and separation, or caregiving stress. She also helps those facing career uncertainty, midlife questions, or searching for greater self-love and life purpose.

Her work aims to break down overwhelming issues into manageable tasks. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Conversations move from understanding what matters to testing small changes that can improve daily life.

Colette encourages practical experiments between sessions to build momentum and confidence. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. The first steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works.

Colette’s style is steady, respectful, and focused on helping people regain direction.

Online session options

How narrative and practical methods work online

Colette uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. By noticing recurring themes, clients can try new ways of describing problems and imagine different outcomes. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which means sessions are guided by the client's concerns and paced to what feels right for them. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these approaches by narrowing attention onto specific, achievable goals and identifying the steps that move toward them.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Colette will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that feel like a fit. She adjusts the plan as people try things and learn what helps most, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break and work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text make it easier to check in between sessions or to use brief coaching-style exchanges. These options give flexibility for busy days, work schedules, or different communication preferences.
