About Audrey

Audrey Bennett is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of practice. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy. She speaks English and provides care to people located in Connecticut.

Her work aims to create a respectful space where people can talk honestly about hard feelings and start making thoughtful changes. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.

Background and approach

She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Bennett frames change as a step-by-step process. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals. Sessions may include practical exercises, guided reflection, and short tools to practice between meetings.

The tone is warm and goal-oriented rather than strictly academic. She has worked across a range of life challenges, including addiction, bipolar concerns, fertility and end-of-life issues, attachment and adoption questions, and career or life-purpose shifts. This breadth informs a flexible style that adapts methods to what each person needs most.

Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s goals. The therapist creates a space to hear what matters most and helps shape the work around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to change them; it can be helpful for anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with difficult situations.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Together they set small, achievable steps and review what is working or needs to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or travel limits. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person meetings, phone sessions remove the need for a camera, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short, on-the-go check-ins. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life and to continue work between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
