About Rex

Rex Bennett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. He uses six years of experience to help people work through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem. He creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them and make practical changes.

Rex focuses on clear, real-world steps rather than clinical jargon. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He listens first, then helps clients try tools that fit their life.

Background and approach

Progress is measured by what actually changes between sessions. His approach mixes talk and skill-building. He often uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking patterns that cause distress.

He also draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and goals. Rex also brings techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. When relationships or attachment show up, he uses emotionally-focused ideas to help identify and shift interaction patterns.

He adapts methods to the needs presented in the room. People who seek practical guidance for everyday problems may find his style helpful. He works with concerns such as addictions, parenting and family issues, LGBT concerns, bipolar mood swings, and caregiving stress.

The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps when someone needs space to sort out values and make decisions without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist starts by asking about what is most important to the client and what goals they hope to reach. From there, techniques are chosen together and adjusted as progress is made so the plan fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daytime schedules and to continue work between meetings. The focus remains on practical skills and steady progress, with options to use the communication style that works best for each person.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
