About Loire

Loire Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who brings 24 years of experience to her practice. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and family challenges, stress, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Background and approach

Loire emphasizes meeting each person where they are and helps them identify practical, individualized steps toward improved functioning and well-being. Her approach blends client-centered engagement with evidence-informed methods.

Loire uses empathy, active listening, and genuine concern to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Jungian ideas as needed. She has practiced across inpatient, outpatient, and personal settings, giving her a broad perspective on treatment needs and recovery paths.

Sessions are offered in varied formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and Loire aims to tailor strategies so clients can test what works best for them. She values clear, realistic problem solving and supports clients as they explore strengths, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Loire commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleeping or eating concerns. ACT emphasizes values-based action and developing psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful awareness, supporting people coping with grief, chronic pain, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Loire aims to learn about each person's goals, preferences, and life context and then discusses which methods may fit best, adapting techniques over time as needs change. Clients and the therapist work together to try strategies and refine the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, maintain momentum between meetings, and access care from different locations while fitting therapy into busy lives.
