About Benjamin
Benjamin Di Biase is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of related issues. He listens first, helping people identify strengths and small steps they can use right away. He aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful of a family's needs.
Benjamin offers straightforward guidance and steady support for people beginning this work. Benjamin draws on eleven years of practice in Washington, using approaches that fit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
He often combines cognitive behavioral methods with trauma-focused tools and storytelling work to help people make sense of past events. Sessions concentrate on practical skills, clearer communication, and coping strategies that families can use between meetings. He treats stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges such as addiction and compassion fatigue.
He also addresses parenting strain, relationship and family conflicts, anger, career questions, and life transitions. When trauma is present, he may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing along with other techniques to reduce its hold on daily life. Benjamin speaks English and practices under a Washington LICSW license - WA LICSW LW61102181.
He offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. He believes clients know their stories best and that therapy is a collaborative effort.
His work centers on listening carefully, naming what matters, and helping people build practical habits that move them forward.
Online approaches for family and trauma work
Benjamin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily life.He also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma memories are causing distress. EMDR works by helping the brain process painful memories so they no longer trigger the same strong reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels manageable. Then he and the client will pick methods that fit those needs in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or family routines and let people choose how they feel most comfortable connecting. Benjamin adapts techniques so clients can practice skills and follow treatment plans between appointments using the same online formats.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
