Work with Carol Bennett (LMSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

About me

I am a licensed therapist in the state of Michigan with over twenty-five years of experience. I have been treating clients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and sexual abuse issues. I have also worked with clients with autism, OCD, anti-social and borderline personality disorder.

My approach to therapy are mainly two fold, mainly psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral modalities. I find that through the relationship I have with my clients I can help them discover how their behavior affects those with whom they have personal relationships. I can also help them realize, through changing their thought process can change their lives for the better. I believe that all of my clients have the answers to a better life within themselves they just need a little help and guidance from me to find those answers.
Seeking therapy is a very difficult thing to do and sometimes overwhelming. I would love to work with you as you pursue this course in your life, we can travel this road together.

This makes getting therapy more convenient for me since I have a busy schedule, and would rather not have to be out of the house more.

Carol has been very helpful in assisting me in asserting myself and in helping me to see my own self-worth. I appreciate her listening skills and helpful feedback.

Written on Nov 30, 2021 after therapy with Carol for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and grief

I’m so glad I began these sessions with Carol. I’m going through the most difficult time and although I have family & friends I’m benefiting from this outside support. It’s making me consider my feelings and pause. My normal pace is to move on to the next person’s feelings. This is a time for slowing down, valuing my experiences, knowledge & showing myself compassion - before I offer that to others. Carol has made me STOP, and put my proverbial mask on first.

Carol asks a really good question and/ or points out something really important that I have never seen before in every session. Exactly what I need, and I'm very glad to have connected with her.

Carol took the time to hear what I had to say and listened fully to what I was going through. She gave impactful advice and helped me work through the grieving process recommending readings and things to think about. A wonderful counselor!

Carol is wonderful! We've only had a couple sessions so far, but her initial plan and approach seem to be spot-on for what I need. The online survey to match me with a compatible councilor worked out perfectly. I couldn't wish for anyone else. I look forward to the next online discussion. Great work Carol! Thank you for all you do!
