Greetings, my name is Zekecia Bennett, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a Florida native with over fifteen years of experience in social work. I earned my bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of South Florida and my Master of Social Work from Walden University. I love the therapeutic process and have a strong desire to empower others by enhancing their well-being through psychotherapy.
Clients can expect a gentle, grounding first session where we slow things down and explore what’s been coming up for them emotionally, physically, and relationally. I use a warm approach with asking thoughtful questions, offering reflections, and helping clients identify patterns or feelings that may be influencing their current stress. Together, we begin shaping goals and identifying small, supportive steps they can take between sessions. Most clients leave feeling understood, less alone, and with a clearer sense of how therapy can support their wellbeing.
As a licensed clinical social worker, my greatest strengths are communication, motivation, and honesty.
My ideal client(s) is someone who’s feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin by life’s demands and is looking for a safe, supportive space to breathe and sort through what’s happening. They may be navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or a major life transition that’s stirring up old patterns or new emotions. They don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan, just a willingness to show up as they are. Together, we’ll slow things down, explore what feels heavy, and build practical, compassionate tools that help them feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves.

CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions (such as thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and their associated behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
Acceptance and commitment therapy invites people to open up to unpleasant feelings, not to overreact to them, and not to avoid situations that cause them.
DBT help people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and by helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions.
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a person-centered strategy. It is used to elicit patient motivation to change a specific negative behavior. MI engages clients, elicits change talk and evokes patient motivation to make positive changes.
Psychoeducation offered to patients and family members teaches problem-solving and communication skills and provides education and resources in an empathetic and supportive environment.

Zekecia pushes me every session to follow through on the inner work to reprogram the way I think about myself and how I interact with the people in my life. She has tangible solutions and strategies to do the work to improve my self image and life.

I feel she has created a safe space for my wife and I, to be able to share, be honest, and communicate our interests, intentions and express ourselves in ways that are healthy for our relationship. A non judgmental, non biased person is exactly what we needed. We enjoy our sessions and look forward to seeing the progress , growth and development in our journey in couples counseling.
