How Bennett Uses Therapeutic Techniques Online
Two notable approaches he draws on are mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral methods. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices and breathing exercises that help reduce reactivity and calm an overwhelmed mind; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and improving focus. Cognitive-behavioral methods look at thoughts and behaviors together, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new routines that reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.He also uses biofeedback and guided hypnosis when appropriate. Biofeedback teaches people to notice and change bodily signals like heart rate tension to reduce stress. Guided hypnosis offers focused imagery and relaxation skills that can support work on pain, sleep, or habit change. These tools are offered as options and are selected based on what a person wants to try.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review goals and try different methods to see what fits. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted to each person’s needs and preferences over time.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for full conversations and skill coaching, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect and respond on their own schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines and to maintain consistent progress.
