About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who practices as a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of experience. He works from a flexible, person-focused perspective and adapts sessions to each individual's needs.

Background and approach

Benjamin aims to give straightforward, practical support for common life struggles. He helps people who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or family concerns.

He also supports those dealing with parenting strain, intimacy-related questions, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. He has an interest in ADHD and in issues connected to aging, caregiving, blended families, and fatherhood.

Benjamin draws from several approaches to shape sessions. He uses the Gottman Method tools for relationship skill-building alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used for skills work and emotional regulation. He also practices a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals central.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Expect clear goals, skills to practice between meetings, and regular check-ins about progress.

Benjamin frames work as a partnership where clients help decide what matters most and which strategies to try. He provides services as a counselor licensed in Pennsylvania and accepts international clients for online care.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging for convenience and ongoing support.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Benjamin often uses the Gottman Method to help people learn practical communication skills, manage conflict, and rebuild connection in relationships through structured exercises and shared goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another part of his work and helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take actions that matter to them. Client-centered therapy shapes how he listens and responds, keeping the person's perspective and goals at the center of each session.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Benjamin discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and when to change course if something isn’t working.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent even with changing schedules.
