Loire Bennett

Hello! My name is Loire Bennett. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I earned my Master’s of Counseling degree from the University of South Florida. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, including inpatient care, outpatient facilities. and private practice. I work with clients who are experiencing issues including, depression/anxiety, substance use disorder, grief, stress management, family conflict, parenting/caregiver stress, and many more.
I understand that asking for help can be a difficult yet courageous and rewarding experience. My goal as your counselor is to help you identify and understand your particular issues and concerns and find healthy solutions to address these issues. I believe in treating each of my clients as individuals and work with clients to find what counseling strategies and techniques work best for them. When counseling, I use Client-Centered techniques, especially the use of empathy, genuine concern and active listening. I also use Cognitive-Behavioral strategies, Solution-Focused Therapy and Acceptance/Commitment Therapy techniques. Because clients come from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences, I feel it is important to have different strategies and techniques available for the client to explore.
Every client is important to me. I look forward to working with you to help you discover realistic solutions for your concerns. I schedule live sessions (30-60 minutes in length) Wednesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 9am and 7pm.
Sincerely,
Loire
