More about Deidre
- 15 years' experience

- LMHC, LPC, LCMHC
I am a mental health therapist licensed in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia with 20 years of experience. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, and ADHD. I specialize in trauma informed therapy and have helped many people who have experienced trauma, abuse or sexual assault.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and trauma informed therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that as individuals we are holistic beings with physical, mental and spiritual needs. We will encompass all of these dynamics in our sessions together to ensure your holistic healing and wellbeing.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She was wonderful!
I would recommend Diedre McCloud as a therapist because she has helped me immensely. She’s smart, supportive, and has helped me to clarify my confusion over muddled thinking.
She is very kind, supportive and offers wonderful help!!! Top of her class for sure!!!
Deidre McLeod is so lovely to talk to and so intelligent and professional. I truthfully don’t feel that I understood the benefit of therapy until I began talking with her.
Awesome
Deidre is sweet and compassionate and she knows how to listen. She gives advice only when asked. Very warm personality with clear point of views as well.
Love her!!
