About Bennett

Bennett Burbank is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who has practiced in Florida for two decades.

Background and approach

He moved to South Florida over 25 years ago after growing up in the Northeast, and he has spent the last 20 years providing psychotherapy to adults across a range of life challenges. Bennett emphasizes practical, verbal exploration of stresses that arise from work, relationships, parenting, and major life transitions.

His style blends respectful listening with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral interventions and approaches drawn from Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and emotion-focused work. He often helps people facing anxiety, mood dysregulation, grief, anger, and relationship strain by clarifying patterns, identifying helpful behavioral changes, and strengthening emotional awareness.

Bennett has provided teletherapy for several years and focuses exclusively on remote care for Florida residents. He welcomes clients who want a thoughtful, conversational therapist who balances empathy with structured tools.

Prospective clients should note he does not conduct sessions while clients are driving and that availability and fees vary by location and schedule. Start-up steps include completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to his availability.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Many clients are interested in approaches that combine practical tools with deeper emotional work. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves to reduce internal conflict and increase self-direction; this approach can be useful for trauma responses, internal conflicts, and persistent patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often helpful for anxiety, mood regulation, and many day-to-day stressors. Client-Centered Therapy places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, offering empathic listening and support while clients explore goals and values.

Determining which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with clients to identify methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from different models as progress unfolds so treatment remains responsive and individualized.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity when schedules change. These options provide flexibility in pacing, frequency, and style of contact so that licensed professionals and therapists can work with clients in ways that feel manageable and effective.
