About Benjamin
Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Pennsylvania. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings nine years of experience to his work. Benjamin focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related issues.
He speaks English and accepts international clients for online sessions. Benjamin uses an adaptable, person-centered way of working. He treats each person as an individual and matches methods to what a client needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and other family members manage immediate challenges and day-to-day stresses. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit a person’s goals. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques as appropriate.
The goal is to give tools that people can use outside of sessions to handle strong emotions and improve relationships. Benjamin has experience with trauma, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and caregiver stress, among other concerns. He has also worked with family problems, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, and aging or geriatric concerns.
He aims to look at how emotional, mental, and practical life areas connect so problems can be addressed in a balanced way. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that works for them.
Approaches for online family and parenting support
Benjamin commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help parents manage stress and stay focused on what matters most in family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and day-to-day struggles, then suggest methods that fit those needs. That plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit appointments around parenting schedules, work, and caregiving duties. They also make it possible to continue work between sessions using messaging or brief check-ins when needed, so tools learned in session can be practiced in real life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
