Benjamin has been very helpful with my anxiety and panic attacks. Within one session, my panic attacks decreased by a major amount. I now only after three weeks can actually attend work and normal events with little to no anxiety. He has helped me in all aspects of looking at my life and identifying triggers that I never would of though of. He answers texts in a reasonable time manner and is very invested in my wellbeing.

More about Benjamin

  • 8 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCMHC, LPC

Hello. I am a clinical mental health counselor who is licensed in multiple states and have 6 years of experience as a counselor. I use an eclectic approach to counseling as I believe each and every person is unique and requires their own style of counseling and learning. I have worked with individuals ranging from crisis to depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, relationship issues, trauma, and family concerns. I have worked with troubled children and their families.

I truly believe that the body, mind, emotions, and spirituality are all interconnected and in order to get the best results possible, you have to examine all areas of a persons life to help balance out their needs.

My counseling style is also eclectic in that I can match the approach to the needs of my client. I believe in treating everyone with respect and strive to always do the best I can to help my clients. I see each person as an individual and understand that each person has their own perspectives and understandings of their environment, allowing me to individualize each meeting we have together.

It would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to help you in anyway I can to help you through your life journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed September 2024

Against all odds, I found a therapist who knew exactly what I am going through since he, himself, has gone through the very same thing. This thing is uncommon and rarely understood, including by professionals. I have gone through several therapists and almost gave up until I decided to try just one more therapist. Seriously, if one were to legitimately calculate the odds of this happenstance, those odds would be astronomically against its possibility.

I’ve done therapy off and on for about 5 years now, working with four different therapist. Benjamin reminds me a lot of the first therapist I worked with. Unfortunately I was unable to continue to work with that therapist due to an insurance change. I am glad that I found Benjamin and BetterHelp. Benjamin taught me more in just a couple of session than my last therapist did in an entire year. Benjamin is concerned with my safety, progress, and mental health. He’s willing to allow me to lead my journey and he’s very knowledgeable. I would recommend Benjamin to others!

Reviewed March 2023

This is my fourth time at therapy. Every time before each therapist focused on a specific issue I was dealing with at that time. It usually takes months to get to the crux of the issue and then start attacking it. This maybe due to time needed for the therapist to understand where I’m coming from and time for me to trust the therapist’s ability to help. For the first time, trust was established from day one. I need two things from my therapist. Display a comprehensive understanding of mental health and lower the facade of pleasantries, meaning be open to anything I say without judgment and respond with objective honesty. All we can do here is to “do the work”, and Benjamin has helped me to start doing just that.

Ben used his personal experience and training in psychotherapy to provide solutions when I was feeling anxious or depressed.

Ben has a wide range of expertise which has been instrumental in the success of quickly finding the root cause of the issues I was experiencing and a path to healing. Supporting an environment for emotional growth and guidance for bringing forth untapped love into our home I was desperately wanting. Ben deeply cares about you as an individual and the individual experience as you navigate therapy and the excercises. Highly recommend Ben whether you're new to therapy or have been in therapy for years. Thanks, Ben!
