About Loire

Loire Bennett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and substance use concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Loire aims to help clients name problems, try practical steps, and build routines that make daily life easier.

She earned a Master of Counseling degree from the University of South Florida and has 24 years of experience across inpatient care, outpatient facilities, and private practice. That variety means she has supported people through crisis points and longer-term changes. Loire uses empathy, active listening, and a flexible mix of methods to match what each person needs.

In sessions she combines client-centered skills with cognitive-behavioral tools and acceptance and commitment techniques. Loire also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and Jungian perspectives when those angles fit a person’s goals. The work focuses on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps toward better self-direction.

Clients can expect sessions that are straightforward and goal-oriented. Loire says she treats each person as an individual and collaborates on what strategies to try. She schedules live sessions that range from 30 to 60 minutes on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Her approach is built for people who want change that fits into real life. Loire encourages small, doable shifts and helps track progress so people can see what is working and adjust when needed.

How Loire’s approaches translate to online care

Loire draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on meaningful action instead of getting stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration to help people feel heard and seen. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Loire will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person. She adapts tools as progress unfolds and checks in regularly to see what helps and what needs changing.

The original profile lists live sessions of 30 to 60 minutes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support consistent scheduling around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, practice new communication habits, and track progress between meetings.
