Loire Bennett, LMHC

Loire Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, substance concerns, and depression. She aims to make beginning therapy simple and practical so parents can find real steps to feel steadier. Loire speaks plainly and focuses on what a person needs now to cope and move forward.

She earned a Master of Counseling degree from the University of South Florida and has 24 years of experience across inpatient care, outpatient programs, and private practice. That range means she has worked with many kinds of problems and knows how to adjust methods to fit each person.

Loire draws on Client-Centered approaches, using empathy, genuine concern, and active listening to understand each person's situation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused ideas to build practical skills and steps people can try between sessions.

Sessions can cover everyday struggles like sleep, eating, parenting stress, or work pressure as well as deeper issues such as trauma, relationship problems, or complicated grief. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect current behavior and feelings.

Appointments are scheduled midweek and can run 30 to 60 minutes. Loire aims to help clients identify clear goals and realistic actions so progress feels tangible and manageable.

How Loire blends approaches for online care

Loire commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments and practical tools that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change patterns that keep problems going.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, or ongoing health challenges.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Loire works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online work includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversations and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text are helpful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions.
