About Loire
Loire Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stresses around parenting, relationships, and life changes. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and issues tied to self-esteem and intimacy. Loire speaks plainly and helps clients find practical steps that fit their everyday lives.
She earned a Master of Counseling degree from the University of South Florida and has 24 years of experience in inpatient care, outpatient settings, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, from chronic illness and caregiver stress to communication and codependency challenges. In sessions Loire uses client-centered methods that emphasize empathy, genuine concern, and active listening. She pairs those with cognitive behavioral strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try small, achievable changes.
Dialectical behavior and Jungian approaches are available when they match a client's needs. Loire aims to work collaboratively, helping each person identify what matters most to them and try practical tools that feel doable. She explains ideas clearly and helps clients set realistic goals for change.
The overall focus is on finding solutions that fit the client’s life and values. Her practice includes a range of session lengths and formats to accommodate different schedules. Loire emphasizes steady progress and makes space for clients to talk through setbacks, grief, and the stress of daily parenting and caregiving demands.

Online approaches that match your needs
Loire uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that reflect personal priorities.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's perspective. That approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship to make change feel possible.
Finding the right method is a team process. Loire will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to try cognitive-behavioral techniques, ACT exercises, or a blend of approaches and then adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options allow quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit into a busy parenting or caregiving life while keeping focus on practical steps and steady progress.
