Dr.

Bennett combines evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on collaboration to help clients set realistic goals and develop skills for everyday life. Licensed as an LISW and LCSW, she has accumulated six years of professional experience and practices in Indiana while accepting international clients who work in English.

Her style centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings and move toward meaningful change.

Dr. Bennett encourages clients to take courageous first steps and offers steady support as they pursue more fulfilling, resilient lives.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Dr. Bennett commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for changing behavior, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and practice acceptance-based skills for managing difficult emotions and staying committed to meaningful actions.

Choosing the right approach is framed as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access consistent care across locations and schedules. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel, and allow therapists and clients to practice real-world skills between sessions using the communication format that best supports the client's routine.
