About Bennett
Bennett Burbank is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice based in Florida. He has spent much of his career helping people talk through stress at work, relationship strains, and the challenges of parenting. He offers therapy by phone, video, live chat, or text and does not maintain a brick-and-mortar office.
Bennett works with people facing anxiety, mood concerns, grief, anger, and addiction. He also supports those coping with life changes, career stress, and intimacy or relationship questions.
Background and approach
He notes he can only provide therapy to residents of Florida. In sessions he uses clear, practical methods. He often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage anxious thoughts.
He pairs that with client-centered listening so people feel heard while they learn new skills. He also brings elements of emotionally-focused work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns in relationships and in their body. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make concrete changes, such as cutting back on substance use or improving self-care.
Bennett has been offering teletherapy for several years and finds many people benefit from the format. He does not do sessions while clients are driving and does not see international clients. Sessions are conducted in English for Florida residents.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. It gives space for clients to set the pace and priorities for their work, which helps when dealing with stress, relationship strain, or parenting challenges.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers simple, hands-on tools to reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful habits, which can be useful for anxiety and mood concerns.
Emotionally-focused elements help people identify how emotions shape their relationships. This can be helpful when intimacy, communication, or attachment patterns are part of the concern.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and adjust techniques over time. Clients and therapist work together to find the right mix of listening, practical skills, and emotional exploration.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people see facial expressions and body language, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and chat or messaging fits shorter updates or scheduling needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
