About Audrey

Audrey Bennett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of professional experience, licensed in Connecticut. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and other life disruptions including codependency and grief.

She uses clear, direct conversation to identify what feels hard right now. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage overwhelming feelings and to reduce the hold of another person's problems. Audrey leans on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to break down big issues into manageable actions.

Her style is straightforward and grounded. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, like people-pleasing or putting someone else's needs first. Then she works on concrete alternatives - boundary practices, different ways of responding, and short experiments to test what changes help.

Audrey also uses perspectives from Jungian work to explore deeper meanings and recurring themes that show up across relationships. That can help when someone wants to understand long-standing patterns tied to family of origin, attachment, or past losses.

Over two decades she has supported people through transitions such as adoption and foster care concerns, divorce and separation, fertility challenges, and caregiving or end-of-life issues. Her approach aims to make difficult problems less overwhelming by focusing on small, doable moves that build steadier day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify what matters most. Online sessions using this approach still center on the client's goals and priorities and help make sense of patterns affecting relationships and self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavioral changes. In remote sessions CBT is used to teach coping skills, rehearse new responses, and set short homework tasks for stress, anxiety, and addictive urges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase noticing. Those practices are easily guided over video or phone and support calmer responses to triggers and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaboratively discuss options and try different methods to see what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a team effort focused on practical changes rather than one fixed method.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before scheduling, since specific options are not listed in the provided biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
