About Benjamin
Dr. Benjamin Lasky uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide therapy. He responds directly and simply to what someone brings and helps them try practical changes.
He presents himself in a calm, nonjudgmental way and keeps sessions focused on what will help now. Dr. Lasky is identified as a psychologist licensed in California and Nevada with the credentials CA Psychologist PSY19363 and NV Psychologist PY0726.
He works with issues such as addictions, relationship concerns, family stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related problems.
Background and approach
His practice also addresses eating concerns, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, and substance use issues among others. In sessions he mixes client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work.
That means he listens first, then helps set clear goals and tries small steps you can test between meetings. He aims to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build on what already works. Dr.
Lasky offers therapy in English and sees clients located in California. He conducts sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and varies with location and therapist availability.
To start, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time based on the therapist's availability. The process is designed to get people into a practical conversation about their concerns quickly.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist creates space to hear concerns fully and reflect them back, helping people feel understood before deciding next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and tries practical experiments to change them. Online CBT often uses clear goals, short exercises between sessions, and step-by-step strategies for issues like anxiety, mood problems, or stress.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and building on existing strengths. It can be helpful when someone wants quick, practical direction and prefers to set concrete goals for improvement.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work from home, or check in between appointments. The options aim to make consistent, practical support more accessible for people with different needs and routines.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
