About April
Dr. April Bennett is a South Carolina psychologist with 16 years of clinical experience. They work with adults managing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, and family of origin issues. Dr. Bennett also supports people facing bipolar disorder, eating and food-related concerns, and challenges tied to major life changes.
In sessions, Dr. Bennett uses clear, direct conversation to identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. They draw mainly on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thought and behavior patterns. They also bring psychodynamic perspectives to look at how family history shapes current patterns and relationships.
Other approaches inform their work as well. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used when values and acceptance strategies may help reduce struggle. Solution-focused ideas are applied to find concrete skills and small steps that fit into daily life. This mix allows an emphasis on practical change along with attention to longer-standing personal patterns.
Dr. Bennett’s style centers on clear goals, practical exercises, and talking through past influences that still matter today. They describe links between physical symptoms and emotions when that is relevant, such as with chronic pain or sleep problems. Sessions tend to focus on what can be done now while acknowledging earlier life experiences.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Bennett commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas in their work. CBT is a practical approach that helps people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Psychodynamic ideas look at how family relationships and early experiences shape current reactions and recurring patterns.They also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values-based actions and acceptance strategies are helpful. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences, clarifying values, and taking committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most.
