About Bennett

Bennett Burbank is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience based in Florida. He has worked with people on stress at work and in relationships. He also addresses parenting concerns and a broad range of emotional struggles.

Sessions are done remotely using video, phone, chat, or messaging, and he only provides care to Florida residents. Bennett favors straightforward conversations that help people sort through hard moments. He listens first, then offers tools that fit each person’s situation.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when useful, is a tool he commonly brings to anxiety and mood concerns. He has spent the last several years providing therapy online and does not keep a physical office. That experience has shaped his practice and his view that teletherapy can make regular sessions more manageable for many people.

He does not conduct sessions while clients are driving. Bennett's work covers a wide range of issues including addictions, grief, depression, bipolar challenges, and trauma and abuse. He also addresses stress, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and career questions.

Additional topics he supports include ADHD, caregiving strain, attachment difficulties, and communication problems. Clients can expect a practical, conversational style. He blends listening with clear suggestions and brief exercises when they help.

The aim is to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters most and set goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety and mood concerns and involves trying small, practical exercises between sessions to track progress.

Emotionally-Focused ideas inform work around relationship strains and deep emotions by helping clients name and respond to feelings more clearly. This can make conversations at home and at work feel more manageable.

Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit a person’s goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative tuning aims to match tools to the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue care from home. Many people find the variety of online options helps them stay consistent with sessions and apply new skills 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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
