Background and approach
Dr. Bennett draws on several approaches depending on the concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps break cycles of worry and low mood.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in living according to their values even while feeling difficult emotions. The work can include short-term problem solving and longer conversations about patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. Dr.
Bennett pays attention to how health, life events, and culture shape reactions and coping. Practical skills and bigger-picture reflection are often combined. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people across state lines, including international clients.
Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Approaches that fit online therapy and daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and managing anger by shifting attention toward values and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and compulsive patterns by practicing new strategies between sessions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, or a mix of short-term solution-focused work and deeper reflection. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and ongoing contact without scheduling a full call. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress and sustained change.Questions people ask about April
