Hello! My name is Loire Bennett. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I earned my Master's of Counseling degree from the University of South Florida. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, including inpatient care, outpatient facilities. and private practice. I work with clients who are experiencing issues including, depression/anxiety, substance use disorder, grief, stress management, family conflict, parenting/caregiver stress, and many more.
I understand that asking for help can be a difficult yet courageous and rewarding experience. My goal as your counselor is to help you identify and understand your particular issues and concerns and find healthy solutions to address these issues. I believe in treating each of my clients as individuals and work with clients to find what counseling strategies and techniques work best for them. When counseling, I use Client-Centered techniques, especially the use of empathy, genuine concern and active listening. I also use Cognitive-Behavioral strategies, Solution-Focused Therapy and Acceptance/Commitment Therapy techniques. Because clients come from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences, I feel it is important to have different strategies and techniques available for the client to explore.
Every client is important to me. I look forward to working with you to help you discover realistic solutions for your concerns. I schedule live sessions (30-45 minutes in length) Monday through Friday, between the hours of 10am- 7pm.
Sincerely,
Loire

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Thank you Lorie for all that you do! It is greatly appreciated!
Loire has been wonderful. She is very knowledgable and has given me hope to stay positive and things will get better. I am very hapoy with her guidance so far.
Since day 1, I felt an immediate connection with Loire. I normally do not warm up easily to therapists and the usually do not understand my personality. Loire totally gets me and I can't wait for our session each week. I feel like I've known her for years...whenever I come across a bump in the road, she's the first person I can't wait to tell. She will always help me to see the positive side of any situation that comes my way. Or even if I just feel like venting, or talking about something completely off topic, we do that as well. Either way, I always leave in a better mood and feeling better. I always appreciate her honesty and professionalism and will probably follow her wherever she goes if she ever leaves! :-) thanks for everything Loire! --CR
Loire is an amazing and attentive therapist. She always listens to my concerns and is there to help me.
I have always hated therapy and the "fake" or "scripted" type of encouragement expected from many therapists, mostly telling you what you want to hear. My 1st session with Loire was extremely laid back, comfortable and she simply "got" me. She understands my sense of humor, struggles, and personality in just 2 sessions and is very flexible and so am I, which is great. I feel like I've known her for years, like I can open up with her about sensitive issues in a non-judgmental atmosphere and look forward to speaking with her every week...
Loire is a warm, empathetic listener and an insightful giver of counseling. Clearly understands the dynamics of working through issues towards a healthy self acceptance and healthy social relationships. I’m grateful I was matched with her through BetterHelp. Working with Loire is the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time.
Loire is the only counselor to make a positive impact for me and she actually cares about her clients. Strongly recommended.
Loire has met all my needs and is helping me with all the things I need help with.
