Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Chelsea Bennett uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and learn practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings - an approach that supports people working through anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to change moods and behaviors, useful for depression, anxiety, and coping challenges. When appropriate, she incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for clients facing intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Bennett works collaboratively with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and she adapts methods over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions allow clients to connect with licensed professionals in ways that fit their lives - whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access therapy from different locations, and support consistent work toward goals even when life is busy.
