About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of experience. He practices in Pennsylvania and lists areas such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, relationship and family concerns among his work. He also notes focus on grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

He uses a mix of methods rather than a single fixed model. That means sessions can include techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work depending on what fits. He aims to match the approach to the person and the problem rather than applying one method to everyone.

In practice he works with common early-adult stressors like job pressure, relationship strain, and shifting family roles as well as longer-term issues such as trauma, depression, and grief. Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change or manage differently. Expect a conversational style that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses and then tries out new ways of coping.

He also lists additional areas such as attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, caregiving and aging matters, BDSM and kink related topics, codependency, communication problems, and fatherhood issues. These are offered as topics he has worked with rather than formal specializations.

Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so the arrangements match personal needs.

How Benjamins approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and committing to actions that align with personal values. Online ACT work can help when someone feels stuck by connecting daily choices to bigger goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT online often involves concrete homework and brief skills practice between sessions. Choosing an approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That recommendation can change as work progresses, and the therapist adjusts techniques based on what helps most. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow work without commuting. It also makes it possible for people living outside Pennsylvania to connect, since international clients are accepted. The focus remains practical: trying skills between meetings, checking what helps, and adapting the plan to everyday life.
