About Bennett
Bennett Burbank is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience. He has lived in South Florida for many years and offers therapy to residents of Florida. He works by listening first and then helping people find useful ways to move forward.
Bennett talks with people about stress at work, relationship problems, parenting strain, and life’s big changes. He also supports people facing anxiety, mood swings, grief, and substance concerns.
Background and approach
He makes sessions straightforward so people can focus on practical steps. Teletherapy is his regular practice; he does not maintain an in-person office. He has provided remote therapy for several years and finds many people appreciate the convenience of video, phone, chat, or messaging sessions.
He does not offer services to international clients and sees only Florida residents. In sessions he uses a client-centered stance and borrows tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing when helpful. That means he focuses on each person’s goals, looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and helps build small, manageable changes.
People often come with issues such as addiction, trauma, parenting concerns, career stress, relationship struggles, or questions about identity and intimacy. Bennett aims to create a steady, respectful space where each person can talk through what matters most. He does not conduct sessions while a client is driving.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps people clarify steps they want to take. This approach is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through decisions or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT techniques fit well into video or phone sessions because they use clear, teachable tools.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and use that awareness to improve close relationships. It can be useful for addressing intimacy and attachment concerns by creating more open patterns of communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, habits, and what feels useful. Together they choose methods and adjust as progress unfolds so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for deeper connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These options make it easier to attend regularly and try new tools in real life.
