About Audrey

Audrey Bennett is a Connecticut LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a range of other life issues including family of origin concerns and grief.

She uses straightforward, people-centered work in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and which patterns from earlier life may still affect choices and relationships. She listens for repeating roles and expectations that came from a person's family of origin and helps clarify how those patterns show up today.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also integrates mindfulness practices to build calm and Jungian ideas to look at recurring themes and symbols in life. Solution-Focused methods are used for short-term goals and practical steps.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Expect to talk through specific situations, try small changes between meetings, and reflect on what those changes reveal. Work can include practical skills for anxiety, strategies for addiction recovery, or communication adjustments for strained relationships.

Bennett combines years of experience with a direct, practical style. She aims to help people understand how early family patterns influence current life and to develop clearer options for change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients clarify their own goals. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on reflective conversation and identifying personal priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises. In remote sessions CBT often includes concrete behavior experiments and short written homework to try between meetings.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and help decide which ones fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as work proceeds to focus more on skills, themes from family of origin, or short-term problem solving.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simple to try an online session and then decide how they want to continue.
