Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving. Psychodynamic ideas are used to trace how family history affects current choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports making values-based decisions when symptoms are intense. Dr. Bennett also brings experience with life span issues such as aging, chronic illness, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. That experience informs conversations about meaning, loss, and practical concerns that arise with serious illness. People who want a focused, collaborative therapist find the sessions direct and supportive. The initial conversations clarify goals and what to try first. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then take steps that match what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small experiments to change them. It is commonly used for sleep problems, mood disorders, and compulsions. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, loss, and life transitions and can help when people face big questions after serious illness or bereavement. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps and what feels like a good fit. The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting therapy into busy days and removing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, especially for those managing chronic illness or caregiving duties.
