Colette Lettieri

Colette Lettieri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Colette works with people who are wondering what comes next in work or life and who want practical steps to move forward.

She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's own goals. That means listening first and helping clients name what matters to them. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe unhelpful stories they tell themselves. Solution-focused work helps identify small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Colette has additional experience with caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, midlife change, self-love, and women's issues. She also has experience related to executive and professional coaching and brings that background into conversations about career direction and workplace challenges.

In sessions she emphasizes clear conversation and practical planning. Clients can expect direct discussion of goals, short-term steps to try between meetings, and check-ins on what works. Her approach is straightforward and oriented toward helping someone stuck in a transition find realistic next steps.

To begin, a person chooses the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Costs vary with location and the practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Colette uses client-centered work to center the client's own goals and priorities. In plain terms that means she focuses first on what the client wants to change and listens closely before suggesting next steps. This approach helps when someone feels aimless or unclear about priorities.

Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves. She helps clients identify unhelpful storylines and try out new ways of talking about the past and present. That can be useful for self-esteem issues, relationship patterns, and coping with major life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps. Sessions often include setting one or two practical actions to try between meetings and then reviewing what happened. That format can make change feel more manageable for someone uncertain where to begin.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Colette treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences over the first few sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for people balancing jobs or caregiving. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum while they test new steps.
