About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, and depression. He also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, intimacy, sleep, career shifts, and coping with life changes. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Benjamin takes a nonjudgmental, inclusive stance and centers each person’s unique situation rather than labels.
Background and approach
He often suggests small experiments to try between conversations instead of assigning formal homework. He collaborates with people who want to build resilience, solve relationship problems without drama, and strengthen self-respect. Sessions can be direct or more conversational depending on preference.
When someone prefers structure, he will work together to set clear goals and a simple plan. When someone prefers a looser flow, goals can emerge naturally through the talk. A first meeting begins with a casual greeting and routine intake items, including rights and risk questions, then moves into a lead-in question to get the conversation started.
Benjamin typically takes notes during the session and reads them aloud at the end to summarize progress and next steps. With eight years of practice, Benjamin blends approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered pacing. He aims for recovery and practical change through steady collaboration and tailored experiments.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and encourages practical changes in thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like worry or sleeplessness. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, aiming to improve connections, reduce fear of abandonment, and ease communication problems.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that fit. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, and experiments between sessions help test what works.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
