About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. He works with young adults and others on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career stress, depression, and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, commitment worries, and problems linked to family of origin.
He approaches therapy from a mind-body perspective, noting that what helps the body often helps the brain and vice versa. He values inclusivity and nonjudgment; he focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis. He prefers working with people who are ready to change and to build resilience and clearer problem-solving in relationships.
Sessions begin with a casual greeting and routine paperwork, followed by a brief risk check and an opening question to get conversation started. He uses both direct and non-direct styles depending on client preference - sometimes co-creating clear goals and a plan, other times letting goals emerge through dialogue. He takes session notes and reviews them aloud at the end of the meeting.
Between sessions he offers experiments rather than traditional homework. These are practical activities to try in daily life and to report back on next time. He aims to help clients develop self-respect and less dramatized problem-solving in relationships.
Benjamin combines cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment perspectives, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered listening, and existential questions to fit what a person needs. He invites collaborative work and straightforward conversation about goals and progress.
How approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that match a person's values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now, which can be useful for intimacy, trust, and family of origin issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He will suggest methods and adjust them as progress is tracked, so the plan is a collaborative process rather than a fixed promise.
The biography does not specify which session formats are currently used, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing appointments from more locations. Video or phone can reduce the need for long commutes, and shorter check-ins can be scheduled around busy days. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and between-session experiments to the realities of daily life so therapy fits into a young adult's schedule.
