Background and approach

Bennett keeps conversation direct and focused on what matters most to the client. She uses clear, concrete techniques to reduce distress and looks with clients for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people notice what they value and then take small, manageable steps toward those things.

Her approach blends shorter-term skills work with deeper exploration of meaning and history. Cognitive Behavioral strategies are used to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Existential ideas are woven in to help people clarify values and face big life questions.

Psychodynamic perspectives may be used when looking at how family of origin shapes current reactions. Dr. Bennett also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused work to build coping skills and highlight strengths.

Sessions are practical and aimed at producing usable tools the client can try between meetings. She is licensed as SC Psychologist 1344 and has worked in clinical settings across community and health-focused care. Longstanding experience with trauma-focused methods informs her work with trauma-related symptoms and dissociation.

People seeking help for mood disorders, addiction, veteran and first responder issues, or complicated grief will find an approach that mixes symptom relief with finding meaning and direction.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy helps people look at the big questions that come up in hard times - meaning, choice, responsibility, and what matters next. It can be useful for grief, life purpose concerns, and transitions where values and meaning feel unclear.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to action linked to personal values. It offers practical exercises for stress, anxiety, and coping with chronic health or pain issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. That could mean more values-focused conversation some weeks and skill-building exercises other weeks.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets the therapist and client see one another for more interactive work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and differing day-to-day needs.
