About Bennett

Bennett Burbank is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. He has lived in South Florida for 25 years and offers therapy by teletherapy only. He works with people who are facing everyday stressors in work, relationships, and parenting, and he asks that clients be residents of Florida.

Bennett favors clear, practical conversations. He talks through anger, relationship problems, adjustment after life changes, grief, anxiety, and mood concerns. He uses straightforward techniques when they fit the problem and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client.

He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques for anxiety and related issues. He also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to help people feel heard and to improve important relationships. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of his toolbox when those methods match a client's goals.

Bennett has been offering teletherapy for several years and does not maintain a physical office for in-person appointments. He believes remote sessions have made therapy more accessible for many people, while also recognizing there can be limits to the format.

Sessions are not conducted while clients are driving, and Bennett asks prospective clients to confirm their Florida residency before booking. He aims for practical progress and works with each person to set realistic next steps.

Approaches and online therapy that fit everyday life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the client's goals central. The therapist creates a calm, nonjudgmental space and follows the client's priorities to help them make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift difficult interaction patterns in close relationships, improving communication and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is a process. Bennett works with each person to figure out what methods match their goals and preferences. He tailors sessions by combining approaches when that best supports the client's needs and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

Bennett offers teletherapy only and has used remote sessions for several years. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, require less travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because formats can vary, confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they suit your schedule and technical setup.
