Bennett Burbank, LCSW

Bennett Burbank is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience based in Florida. He offers therapy by telehealth and works with people who are facing stress at work, problems in relationships, parenting strain, and mood or anxiety concerns. Bennett notes he can only provide services to residents of Florida and does not see people in person.

Bennett keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people figure out small, doable steps. He often uses cognitive behavioral tools for anxiety and mood regulation and combines those with a focus on emotions and mindful awareness. People come for help with issues like addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns, including jealousy.

Teletherapy has been his primary mode for the past three years. He says online work has made regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives. He does not conduct sessions while clients are driving and does not maintain a physical office.

In sessions Bennett talks through what’s happening now and what the person wants to change. He helps people notice patterns, try different behaviors, and track progress. He also supports those coping with major life changes, career decisions, and caregiving stress.

Bennett works in English and draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, mindfulness strategies, and motivational interviewing. He encourages practical homework between meetings and checks in about how strategies are working. He asks prospective clients to confirm residency in Florida before booking.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Bennett uses client-centered work that emphasizes listening and collaboration. This approach focuses on the person's goals and priorities, and it helps create a plan that matches what matters to them.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT gives clear strategies to manage anxiety, mood swings, and unhelpful thinking patterns through practical exercises and behavioral experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bennett will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques so they make sense for daily life. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress is made.

Teletherapy has been his primary practice for several years, and he sees it as a way to fit sessions into busy schedules. Because session formats are defined in his practice details, confirm current options before booking. He does not run sessions while clients are driving and does not maintain an in-person office. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while still practicing the same clinical approaches used in person.
