About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Pennsylvania. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and has nine years of clinical experience. He approaches therapy as a conversation where the person leads and the counselor helps clarify what matters most. Benjamin aims to help people build confidence, manage stress, and navigate relationship and parenting concerns.

He adapts his approach to each person instead of using one set method for everyone. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps - identifying patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and checking what helps day to day. He pays attention to mood, thinking, body responses, and life circumstances when planning work together.

Benjamin draws from methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of an overall approach. He blends these with client-centered listening to match what a person needs in the moment. This mix is used to address anxiety, depression, trauma histories, parenting strain, and self esteem concerns.

He also works with issues that often come up alongside those concerns, including grief, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. Benjamin notes attention to attachment and blended family dynamics when relevant to a person’s goals.

People who choose him can expect collaborative sessions that focus on realistic goals. He asks questions, offers options, and follows the client’s pace. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the provider’s matching process to match and schedule a visit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking small committed actions. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and building a clearer sense of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift emotional responses that cause conflict or distance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and will recommend a mix of methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in on difficult days. It can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth or scheduling makes that helpful. Ask about format options when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine and needs.
