About Benjamin

Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people cope with life changes, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. He focuses on mind-body connections and pays attention to how daily habits affect mood and behavior. Benjamin takes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance and looks at each person as unique rather than as a diagnosis.

He favors a collaborative style. Sessions often start with a casual greeting and some brief paperwork, then a conversational question to begin. He may take notes during the session and reads them aloud at the end to reflect what was discussed. Instead of traditional homework, he suggests small experiments people can try between meetings.

Benjamin adapts to different preferences. He can take a direct approach and work with a client to set clear goals and a treatment plan. He can also let goals emerge naturally through the flow of conversation when that feels better for the person in the room.

Therapeutic methods he uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These approaches support work on issues like ADHD, addiction, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, sleeping problems, and career stress.

Benjamin aims to help people build resilience, solve problems without drama, and reclaim self-respect. He brings eight years of clinical experience as an LPC practicing in Colorado and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes during life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and communication problems by focusing on emotional connection and trust.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, avoiding travel time, and choosing meeting styles that match your energy level. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. A short experiment between sessions can be assigned just as easily in online work, which helps therapy integrate with everyday life.
