How April works
Practical goals are prioritized so clients leave sessions with clear next steps. Dr. Bennett uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
They also draw on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to build values-based action when anxiety or depression makes movement feel impossible. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational.
Dr. Bennett listens for what causes the most distress and then suggests short exercises or homework to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.
People can work with Dr. Bennett for issues like grief, trauma, compulsive behaviors, and problems related to chronic pain or aging. They offer several formats for online care and accept international clients who speak English.

Online support options
How therapy styles translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It guides clients to clarify personal values and take small steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, insomnia, OCD symptoms, and mood disorders. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships; it can help uncover patterns that contribute to long-standing struggles.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Dr. Bennett will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Progress is reviewed together and the plan is adjusted when something isn't working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or require less bandwidth, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing homework between meetings. These options help people access consistent care from wherever they are while keeping sessions practical and focused.
