Therapeutic approaches and online options

Dr. Bennett often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of the work with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and compulsive habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without being led by them, then choosing actions that match personal values to reduce suffering and increase meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with practical CBT tools, adding ACT strategies, or drawing on existential ideas about meaning and loss when appropriate.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Licensed professionals tailor the pacing and exercises so work can continue between sessions in everyday life.
