About Benjamin
Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He brings nine years of experience to his work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship and family challenges. He talks plainly and aims to meet people where they are.
Benjamin uses several counseling styles and adapts his approach to each person. He combines practical skills and talking-based work so clients can build tools that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. He pays attention to how emotions, thinking, the body, and spiritual concerns connect. That means sessions may address routines, meaning, and feelings alongside specific symptoms.
Benjamin takes time to understand a person’s background before suggesting changes. His work includes supporting parents with the strain of raising children, helping people cope with grief and caregiving stress, and addressing intimacy and communication problems. He also helps people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Benjamin aims for a respectful, down-to-earth style. He encourages collaboration and practical experimentation so clients can test what helps. Meetings are adapted to each person’s pace and needs.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Benjamin will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what feels workable. That may mean trying a skill-focused plan for a while and shifting to a more emotion-focused conversation if needed. Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and observing body language. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and more frequent communication between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.Questions people ask
